Text
I thank the Member for his question. My officials will continue to engage with Department of Education officials on that wider piece of work. Although we have not been involved directly in developing the proposals, I and my Department have a focus on ensuring that we have the skills that meet the needs of the economy now and in the future. It is important that what we are doing in my Department and the Department of Education is joined up across government and also across the community and voluntary sector. I will continue to keep a close eye on that as it progresses, and my officials will continue to work with their colleagues in the Department of Education.
