Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) 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 is quibbling a bit. The fact is that a significant tranche of new money came in, and will continue to come in, for higher education. One of the great things about the university system in this country is its relative autonomy from government. It is far superior to the rather centralised systems in continental Europe. One of the reasons why I know the details is that the Select Committee on Education and Skills is considering the Bologna accord at the moment, and we have taken evidence on the subject.
