answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>My officials have not discussed the Confederation of British Industry’s (CBI) education and skills annual report with the CBI.

The survey findings will inform various Department for Education policies including the science, technology, engineering and mathematics strategy.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 12/11/2018 11:13:17 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
