Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 March 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on University Admission.


University Admission

May I suggest to my hon. Friend that in addition to quotas smacking of social engineering and lacking clear justification through evidence, they could harm the long-term economic interests of this country, which would adversely affect everyone? The answer is not quotas, but ensuring that standards in the state education system are brought up to the level that allows those within it to compete on merit, not by quotas.
