Proceeding contribution from John Denham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.
Education and Skills Bill
The hon. Gentleman has stated:"““Diplomas were supposed to be about improving vocational education not undermining academic excellence.””" He has also said that the new diplomas that my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families"““announced…are designed to subvert existing GCSEs and A-levels.””" The hon. Gentleman's mood music on this matter is fairly clear, and I was pleased that I was able to lay my hands on those quotes. [Interruption.] I have missed one. He has also accused us of wanting"““to replace that with the sort of mush which I fear Ed Balls has surrendered to.””"
