Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on Social Mobility and the Professions.


Social Mobility and the Professions

I did not follow the Minister's point, either, but I probably misunderstood because I am sitting directly behind him. I am not making a cheap political point—I understand why the hon. Gentleman is going on about NEETs—but will he look at the new book launched on Wednesday by Oxford university, edited by Richard Pring, and especially the section on NEETs, which talks about the danger of even using the NEET category, as it can lead people towards rather bad answers in public policy?
