Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Skills for Growth.
Skills for Growth
I know that my hon. Friend is a strong campaigner for her city and the college there. I remind her of the figure that I quoted a moment ago: we have spent some £2.7 billion on renewing the further education estate. I do not believe that her constituents will disadvantaged by greater power and choice. It is good to give people greater power and choice—to let them drive the system, provided that the providers are properly accredited and that people have good, high-quality information. We are determined to ensure that those two conditions are met.
