APPRENTICES AND TRAINEES

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): Supplementary, sir: can the minister advise how many apprenticeships have been cancelled or deferred due to the backlog?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:44): Clearly, that is not information that I would have at hand, but I am happy to bring back a reply.
