Proceeding contribution from Eric Joyce (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 July 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Service Personnel.


Service Personnel

My right hon. Friend's comments on education today are an explicit recognition that many people join the armed services with a pretty patchy record in education, but once they are there, they discover a prodigious capacity to learn. Will he assure the House that his Department will make a careful and concerted effort to liaise with institutions of further and higher education to ensure that leaving servicemen get the very best from his announcement today?
