Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 February 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on World Class Skills 2020.


World Class Skills 2020

Will the Minister give us some indication of how the OECD skills ranking works? I agree with much of what he said about the importance of skills—if I catch your eye, Mr. Hancock, I hope to say a little more about that—but we should ensure that by putting policies in place that focus on the OECD rankings, we do not suffer from targetitis. We should do so not for the sake of it but to ensure that our work force have excellent skills in the decades ahead.
