Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

It is not the fee structure, it is that we have devolved powers. The differences between England and Wales include: key skills in Wales instead of functional skills in England; no personal learning and thinking skills in the Welsh framework; and a Welsh baccalaureate qualification. We cannot ignore the fact that it has the devolved powers to do that. It is not about fee structure; it is the fact that we have devolved powers, and that we have defined the authority that is going to specify the apprenticeship standards—one for England and one for Wales.
