Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether he will introduce a ring-fenced skills fund as recommended in the Skills Strategy.

Answer:

As identified by the OECD, long term strategic investment in our skills system is essential to achieving our social and economic objectives. I look forward to working with my Executive colleagues to agree how we can best achieve this and ensure that we have a skills system that meets the needs of the economy and enables everyone to reach their full potential.
