Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Bercow Review.


Bercow Review

My hon. Friend poses legitimate challenges to Ministers. Does he not agree that if, at present, significant numbers of those communication impaired young offenders attend educational and training courses only in an entirely perfunctory and tick-box capacity and gain little or no benefit in the process, the Government should be willing, if not to increase overall resources, to top-slice the education budget in young offenders institutions and ensure that some of the money is used to good effect rather than to nil effect?
