Question:
To ask the Minister for Employment and Learning, pursuant to AQW 41201/11-15, for the time frame for (i) the establishment of the steering group and (ii) the commissioning of research.

Answer:

My Department is in the process of establishing the Steering Group and issuing invites to industry representatives. It is hoped that the first meeting will take place within the next month.

The role of the Steering Group will be to advise my officials as to the scope and the depth of the research needed for the sector. Any research undertaken will be procured through the normal public procurement processes and timescales.
