Text
I thank the Member for his question. The criteria did not change, but the guidance about who was eligible for the skills for life and work programme was clarified. I am glad that all the young people he engaged with have been sorted out. I encouraged my officials to make sure that we had appropriate places for all those young people, and most of them received a satisfactory outcome. If the Member becomes aware of any young person who has changed their mind and wants to change course, I encourage him to engage with the colleges, the training providers and my officials. If any particular issues arise, I am happy to correspond with him.
