Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morris of Yardley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.
Education and Skills Bill
My Lords, tomorrow I shall be going to the north-east, to Sunderland university, where I do some work. I am very aware of the skill of the people of the north-east, but I am also aware of the chronic underachievement educationally that there is in that area. We should not ignore that. I conclude by saying that the Bill is ambitious. It sets an agenda for trying to yank ourselves off the bottom of the OECD table. I am ready to be persuaded whether the provision in the Bill is the right way forward. However, after the speeches we have had today, I very much look forward to the debates that I am sure will ensue.
