Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.


Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

Does it not strike my hon. Friend as odd that the chairman of Ofqual should talk about improving understanding of the issues? It seems to me that the public in general understand the issues; what they do not understand is why standards are not kept up. Is not "understanding the issues" code for "Let us explain to people why they should think differently from the way that they do."?
