I thank my hon. Friend for her answer. I am sure that she will agree with me that the importance of skills and training is utmost in everybody's minds, particularly with the Olympic games and the biggest build programme in Glasgow's history, as well as—hopefully—build for the Commonwealth games and Glasgow's bid. Will she ensure that apprenticeship training is valid and relevant to the jobs that are needed, and that the skills shortage and gap will be taken care of in future?
