Question
Can my hon. Friend update the House on the agreement reached about Institute for Learning membership fees?
Answer

As the House knows, this was a contentious issue, but I was able to bring together all the parties involved and they acted with professionalism, goodwill and good faith. This week the Institute for Learning announced that, with the support of the trade unions and the employers—the colleges—a settlement has been reached. I know what you are thinking, Mr Speaker: ““Blessed are the peacemakers.””
