§ Mr. PaiceTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what steps he is taking to reduce duplication between YTS, the technical and vocational education initiative, CPVE and other vocational courses.

We will continue to work towards reducing duplication to ensure progression for young people to obtain higher levels of attainment while maximising the increased choices available to young people as they move from school to work.
