Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (Liberal Democrat) 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

There is an argument for that. Some of the statistics on graduate training show that that has led to certain divisions, and the increase in people going through university has led to the possibility for professions to insist on a degree. However, I do not agree with the hon. Gentleman if he is saying that it is not a good thing to encourage more people to acquire more qualifications through further or higher education; we should all be striving to achieve that.
