Proceeding contribution from Lord Sassoon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

My Lords, one of the responses is that if we give children who would not otherwise have the opportunity to go to the best universities the ability to look forward to a fund that will enable them to do so, that is one way in which we will help disadvantaged children, right through the chain, from the start, through higher education and beyond. In that context, the £2.5 billion pupil premium will be another critical component.
