Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government when they intend to publish the comprehensive careers strategy announced in the Building the Industrial Strategy Green Paper, published in January.

My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State has confirmed that we will publish a careers strategy shortly.

The strategy will have a clear focus on social mobility. It will include proposals to improve the quality and coverage of careers advice in schools. The strategy will also include steps to improve the access to advice on training and careers for adults throughout their working lives.
