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


World Class Skills 2020

No, it must be on the record. I am sorry, but this is a serious matter. We have an important quality assurance system in this country and I am satisfied with the quality that it ensures. That kind of over-dinner whispering in people’s ears is very damaging to the higher education sector. I think that the hon. Gentleman is talking about Oxford, because he knows it well. If, however, he is talking about universities in the north of England, I challenge him to say so on the record because I am a north of England MP and I do not believe that there is one element of truth in what he said.
