Business question from Jim Sheridan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate on how best to encourage young non-academic people into the world of politics? British politics is grossly over-represented by the academic world. If we are to be truly a party of the people, recognising all the talents, that should be reflected in our political structures, which should not be left to be monopolised by the toffs.
