The Prime Minister congratulated Mr Corbyn on getting to “100 not out” before suggesting the Tories enjoyed having the Labour leader in post at the weekly Commons session but Mr Corbyn said he was “unclear or dissatisfied” by all the PM's previous 99 answers.

“On 99 previous attempts to ask questions to the Prime Minister I have been unclear or dissatisfied by the answers, as indeed many other people have," the Labour leader added.

“So on this auspicious one hundredth occasion, can I ask you to help out a young man called Callum - last week the Prime Minister told the Engineering Employers Federation that we have a skills shortage,a good admission.

“Callum asked, and he's a bright young man who wants to make his way in the world, will the Government acknowledge the importance of sixth form colleges and post-16 education services in Britain?”

The Prime Minister went on to say the Government was creating three million apprentices and making sure sixth form colleges and further education colleges were better funded to help “drive opportunity.”
