My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has not met with the Trade Union Congress specifically to discuss Unionlearn, though regularly engages with unions to discuss a variety of matters related to his role.

I met with Frances O’Grady on 12 October to discuss our decision in relation to Unionlearn, and our expanded commitment to skills development through the National Skills Fund and Lifetime Skills Guarantee. I can confirm as part of that commitment all the money will be invested in skills and retraining that will be fully accessible to everyone.
