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 have not intervened beyond making the appointment, and Professor Ebdon has clear terms of reference. But since the hon. Gentleman has set out a standard, let me remind him and other colleagues of the current position. Pupils from independent schools are 55 times more likely to go to Oxbridge than children with free school meals. That is the imbalance that we are trying to address.
