Question for Department for Work and Pensions

UIN HL3196, tabled on 26 November 2014

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what has been the outcome of the advice of the Traveller Movement representative on the Department for Work and Pensions Ethnic Minority Adviser Group on promoting access to vocational training and higher education.

Answered on

3 December 2014

The aim of the Department for Work and Pensions’ Ethnic Minority Employment Stakeholder Group (EMESG) is to offer Ministers and officials advice on the Department’s services and strategy for the employment/self-employment of ethnic minorities and minority groups.

The EMSG does not provide advice on vocational training and higher education as these issues fall outside of DWP’s responsibilities.
