I will raise that with the Department of Health and Social Care and come back to my hon. Friend.
Kerry McCarthy (Bristol East) (Lab)
We have excellent alternative learning providers in Bristol, from the Enemy of Boredom Academy, which is about developing video games, to the Wheels Project, which is about stripping down cars and rebuilding them. They are a lifeline for young people who are struggling with mainstream education. As part of the Milburn review, will the Government look at supporting ALPs so that young people can be set back on the right path towards a job in the future?
Andrew Western
We are still waiting for the recommendations, but I will feed in my hon. Friend’s suggestion because I think it is a good one.
