Enterprise Bill [HL]

I bring to the attention of the Minister and, indeed, the Committee that of those affected by the closures in the steel industry among the worst sufferers are hundreds of apprentices. They have not got the same facility or ability to change and move employment. In the periphery of this debate, I ask the Minister to take a very good look and have some consultation on how apprentices can be placed, or give some measure of support for continuity of, if not the practical dimension of their learning, at least the academic dimension.
