Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Higher Education.
Higher Education
The hon. Gentleman and I share a love of history—I know that he is very much an admirer of Michael Oakeshott—but will he cast his mind back over the true history? History with things wiped out is not good history, and when Mrs. Thatcher was Prime Minister she wiped out apprenticeships. That should certainly be recognised. This Government have been rebuilding the apprenticeship system over a number of years, and, before the hon. Gentleman leaves further education, I should mention that we have also rebuilt 60 per cent. of the FE estate. Is that not a commitment to FE?
