Can the entitlement to an apprenticeship, which I think is what you are referring to, be delivered, in terms of the availability of apprenticeships, without a system that is built from the bottom up and that engages small and medium-sized enterprises? Also, on that specific point, should we see an equalisation of funding between adult apprenticeships and other apprenticeships, which is further to the point that Mr. Marshall made? Furthermore, should employers receive a direct cash bonus for every apprentice that they take on?
