Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) 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 am so excited by the right hon. Gentleman's speech, and the one that preceded it, that I am obliged to intervene to ask whether he agrees that social cohesion is particularly damaged by what he has just described. It is not that people's aspiration or ambitions have changed, but their means of achieving their ambitions seem ever more remote, leaving them discouraged, depressed, even hostile.
