QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Group Apprenticeship Schemes
MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, I want to amend part of the answer I gave yesterday in relation to funding provided by governments to the MBA.

You took the question on notice at the time and I notice that you have not answered it yet. I could not let the Assembly wrap up for the year, or for the term, without giving you an opportunity to do so.

Mr Stevenson: We have checked thoroughly and you did not give me an answer.
