[Please note this webchat has been postponed. We'll let you know of the revised date and time as soon as we have them]

Morning

Following a lively webchat on Gransnet back in December 2011, we're delighted to welcome back Business Secretary Vince Cable for a webchat with Mumsnetters this week.

Vince will welcome your questions, and can tell us about a range of issues including support for those who want to start a business, the range of advice and business expertise available through the mentoring scheme and Growth Accelerator and support such as Start-Up Loans for 18-30 year olds.

He will take questions - amongst other topics - on the reforms for flexible parental leave which will allow working families to exercise choice over how they share childcare responsibilities, and the Government's work on increasing women's representation in UK boardrooms making sure we don't miss out on the talent and skills of half of the population.

Vince can also tell us more about apprenticeships, which offer young people a leg up on the career ladder, and the value offered by adult learning which can provide real wage and employment benefits throughout working life.

We hope you can join us and, as always, do post advance questions here if you're not able to make it on Wednesday!

Thanks
MNHQ

Hi everyone
We've just heard from Vince Cable's office - Vince will be joining us a little later than scheduled at 2pm-3pm tomorrow. I hope you are able to join us at the new time and, if not, you can of course post advance questions here as usual.

Thanks
Mylinh, MNHQ

Hi everyone,
We're afraid we have to postpone today's webchat - Vince Cable has been called to participate in an important Commons debate this afternoon. We're working to find a new date, so that your questions can be answered. Please watch this space!
Thanks, MNHQ
