Proceeding contribution from Boris Johnson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Higher Education.
Higher Education
I think that the hon. Gentleman will agree that English and mathematics are crunchy subjects. The disgrace of our education system is that 44 per cent. of children still leave primary school unable to do reading, writing or basic mathematics. That is where the division begins and that is exactly the point that I was making throughout my speech.
