    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 21 January 2015
    The Sutton Trust recently released a report which analysed the higher and further education destinations of young people in London.

Given your involvement in London's HE and FE sectors, for example through the LEP, what action are you taking to reduce this inequality and give all young Londoners the chance to succeed in their aspirations?

  • Duration of apprenticeships

    • Reference: 2015/0352
    • Question by: Fiona Twycross
    • Meeting date: 21 January 2015
    The Low Pay Commission 2014 noted that there was considerable variation in the duration of apprenticeships, with apprenticeships in England at the lower end of the spectrum. 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?
