The Government have recently announced the closure of the defence sixth form college in 2021. The college offers A level Education and military education to students that want to enrol in the armed forces as engineering officers.

There are not enough STEM opportunities for young people in the community cadet forces and CCF. Welbeck offers this and it gives our young people something to aim for when they leave secondary education. It is important that we keep this college open to offer opportunities for the younger generation. The closure will also have a great affect on the recruitment for the armed forces. I urge parliament to have a re-think on there recent announcement.
