Proceeding contribution from Jim Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Education and Health.


Education and Health

Can the right hon. Gentleman comment on the closure of BECTA, the British Educational Communications and Technology Agency, and the QCDA, the Qualifications and Curriculum Development Agency, in Coventry, costing probably 600 jobs, and the potential impact not only in Coventry but on education for poorer families? A letter was sent out announcing the closure arbitrarily, so what will happen to those staff?
