    • Meeting date: 21 January 2015

The researchers estimated average apprenticeship durations of between 36-48 months in the majority of countries compared with a typical duration of 12-30 months in England. Do you collect data on the duration of apprenticeships in London to ensure that young Londoners are receiving good quality apprenticeships? If not, will you consider collecting this information?
