Proceeding contribution from Mike Penning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Children, Schools and Families.
Children, Schools and Families
May I draw the Secretary of State’s attention to his comments on legislating in the coming year so that pupils will not be able to leave education until they are 18? What discussion has he had with the Ministry of Defence and his colleagues there, because 35 per cent. of armed forces recruits who go into the ranks go in under the age of 18? They are a vital part of our armed forces. If this legislation goes through, surely they will not be able to join.
