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


University Admission

I just want to confirm what the Minister said. Entrance to university in this country has always been based on attainment and achievement, potential, and aptitude to perform. There is lots of academic evidence that children from poorer backgrounds who get to universities do better than those from independent schools.
