I am much obliged to the hon. Member, not only for letting me intervene but for the invitation that he has given me—which I do not propose to accept. I was not aware that I was advocating further public expenditure, What I was advocating was that the £530 million that is now being spent on job creation schemes is not being spent correctly. I was saying that it should be spent on apprenticeships.
