In the House of Commons, I asked a question to Secretary of State for Education Gillian Keegan MP about increasing provisions for vocational skills and qualifications, particularly in constituencies like Great Grimsby.
Transcript:
Lia Nici MP: "I met a 12-year-old constituent a couple of weeks ago. He has been excluded from school and is now being home tutored, but he is struggling to see where his home tutoring will get him in his aspiration to become a mechanical engineer. Will my right hon. Friend meet me to discuss getting some provision that will suit my constituent and people like him in my constituency?"
Gillian Keegan MP, Secretary of State for Education: "I would be very happy to meet my hon. Friend. I thoroughly enjoyed working with her on many things vocational and technical education when I was last in the Department. We very much need more mechanical engineers, so I encourage that young student and very much look forward to working with my hon. Friend."
