PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
APPRENTICESHIPS AND SKILLS TRAINING (6 September 2010)

That this House believes that the Government is uniquely placed to use the leverage of its procurement programme to promote skills training and apprenticeship opportunities; further believes that a legal requirement should be placed upon contractors who secure public contracts to employ apprentices; and considers that the public procurement process provides a major opportunity for investment in skills training and future employment.
