Proceeding contribution from Paul Blomfield (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Higher Education White Paper.


Higher Education White Paper

There is concern on both sides of the House about the expansion of the for-profit sector in higher education. Will the Minister not learn from the experience of the United States, where the for-profit sector has a higher failure rate than other universities and is currently being investigated for misrepresentation to prospective students? Will he listen to the concerns of HEFCE, which says that the expansion of the for-profit sector here will damage the reputation of our university system?
