Stephen Farry: I thank the Member for her questions.  As the House will know, we released Securing our Success, our new apprenticeships strategy for Northern Ireland, in June 2014.  It is certainly not sitting on a shelf — if anything, it is very much the opposite.  A lot of work has been conducted already.  We are working through our implementation plan.  Over the coming weeks, I will chair meetings...

Danny Kinahan: I thank the Minister for his answers.  It is good to see apprenticeships getting such a high profile.  Will he explain what due diligence checks his Department takes to ensure that anybody offering apprenticeships has the necessary ability and accreditation to deliver for students?
