Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 March 2007. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.


Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Is the right hon. Gentleman embarrassed that, as a result of his Government’s policies, thousands of adult education courses have been cut in order to put funding directly into provision for 16 to 19-year-olds? That has happened as a direct result of the fact that, under this Labour Government, so many young people of that age leave school functionally illiterate and therefore need extra help with basic skills.
