Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 February 2012. It occurred during Urgent question on Office for Fair Access.


Office for Fair Access

I am among the people who paid tribute to that report, and I acknowledge that there is a lot of good material in it. One of the things that it emphasised was the importance of helping with aspirations in schools, changing the expectation that many people have that they have no prospect of going to university, and working at the level of individual schools. I think we will continue to see OFFA concentrating on that, and not on penalties of various kinds, about which some hon. Members appear to be concerned.
