weill. to educational opportunities? well, first of all, to educational opportunities?rst of all, i don't think this apprenticeship idea and the idea of getting rid of so—called mickey mouse degrees would apply in wales because education of courses devolved to wales and is highly unlikely that the welsh government would want to go along with this kind of rhetoric. i think that so far as many young people are concerned, the difficulty is that once they get their qualification, there are not necessarily the jobs available for them to go into, which as it were gives him a payback for what they've invested by their educational time. and i think really what it all comes down to is the need for economic growth and for there to be an expansion of opportunities for people to be working in industries which are expanding and where we've got export opportunities. and frankly brexit has done an enormous amount of damage to the economy of the uk where there is of the flexibility that there once was, where we were have people coming in to a country and people bringing opportunities t
