Perhaps the group training associations could play a bigger role in engaging small and medium-sized businesses, but have you been able to elicit what proportion of employers involved in apprenticeships have training as their main business? I have tried to do that through parliamentary questions, but I was unable to find the information. What I am implying is that a significant number of those employers may actually be training providers rather than employers in the sense that the very best apprenticeship providers such as Rolls-Royce, Honda and Toyota are.
