Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 11 March 2008.
Construction Industry: Capacity and Skills
- Question
- My Lords, is my noble friend aware that Cambridge University is pressing for more engineering students? I declare an interest as an honorary fellow of Clare College, which is pressing particularly hard in that direction subsequent to the noble Baroness’s great campaign and honourable life in pressing for women engineers.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I am delighted to praise both Oxford and Cambridge universities, although I have a slight preference for one of them. Having said that, I must also say that many other universities in this country do sterling work in this field, as do many schools and colleges of further education.
