Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she expects agreed apprenticeship standards related to construction at levels 4 and 6 to be published.

The Institute for Apprenticeships is an independent body with responsibility for the development and approval of apprenticeship standards. I have therefore asked the Institute to write to the hon. Member directly, responding to your question about the publication of apprenticeship standards in consultancy in level 6 building services design engineering, level 6 civil engineering design engineering and construction at levels 4 and 6.

A copy of that response will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses when it is available.
