        First, I congratulate Redditch on its excellent work to create apprenticeships. That is at the heart of the work this Government are doing. Pupils should be given every opportunity to fulfil their potential. As my hon. Friend knows, the Government will create 3 million apprenticeships. The Careers and Enterprise Company will help young people find the right route to continue their development.

        The CBI said in its “Future possible” report 18 months ago that
“the transfer of responsibility for careers guidance to schools has been a failure.”
Will the Minister recognise that the CBI is correct?
