As a follow up to the Norfolk Chamber’s ‘Audience with George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer’ event on the 7 November, we submitted a number of questions from our members to the Chancellor. Responses to those questions are now starting to be received from the relevant Ministers within Westminster.
Gordon Chetwood is the Manufacturing Site Director at Kinnerton Confectionary on Oxborough Lane in Fakenham. Kinnerton joined the Chamber as members in May 2010.
Gordon’s question to the Chancellor was:
“Tony Blair, in his auto-biography ‘A Journey’ said that if had his time again he would not pursue a career in law, he would choose a career in manufacturing. Given that this is often the last choice of career for young people leaving school or education, how does the Chancellor believe we can change this perception and get more people to pursue a manufacturing career?”
Find on the attached document the written response from the Department for Education.
