Lewis says he accepts the evidence that if learning is offered in congenial, non-threatening surroundings, where adults do not feel they are going to be made to look foolish, then they will go for it.
Lewis is younger than most and entitled to be thinking about a move, having been in the skills neck of the woods for so long, but he fields any questions on this with a dogged dead bat.
Lewis is proud of the work he and his colleagues have done on Success for All, the reform of further education, on the skills strategy, which, incredibly for a junior minister, he carried the burden of seeing to fruition, and of the 14-19 reforms in train.
