Question for Department for Education

UIN HL73, tabled on 21 June 2017

Her Majesty's Government whether they anticipate shortages in the labour market following Brexit; and what plans they have to start training an adequate number of people to fill such shortages.

Answered on

5 July 2017

We do not yet know how Brexit will effect trade and migration, and how labour markets will react. The Government is investing heavily to create a skills system that delivers the right skills in the right places to enable the UK to compete with the best in the world, and can respond to Brexit as well as other labour market challenges.
