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 fear that Quentin Letts will have another go at me for making this point. Let us look at the diversity of the BBC, which it brags about. According to many criteria, including ethnicity and gender, it is a very diverse employer, but when it comes to social class, we see that people who studied in independent schools are hugely over-represented there. I shall now wait to see the Daily Mail.
