Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Flint (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

The hon. Gentleman highlights the importance of skills and apprenticeships. Does he share my concern that apprenticeships, in the way in which they are delivered, still adopt the gender segregation of the past? Most of those going on engineering apprenticeships are boys and men, and most of those going on childcare apprenticeships are young women. Would it not be a good idea to ensure that those in receipt of the apprenticeship levy should demonstrate that they have made every effort to undo the job segregation that exists in our workplaces and in apprenticeships?
