Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

Yes, indeed. A lot of jobs, after all, involve being outside the United Kingdom, let alone being in different parts of the United Kingdom. If you are trying to train in many leisure-related activities, the company for which you work may well have activities abroad. Many English people are sent to work abroad to look after English people who are holidaying there. I imagine that we still have something approaching a small Merchant Navy, which might well consider that its training took place offshore some of the time. If you work in the oil industry, you might well work offshore or in different countries as part of a good apprenticeship. This is a totally unnecessary restriction, and we will keep on at the Minister until he says that he will take this away and think about it. He is not getting much help from his officials in the Box. I imagine that they have run out of ideas. Why not give them some time to think about it better?
