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


Higher Education White Paper

The White Paper is absolutely committed to that, and there are many different ways of doing it. For example, we could do it by encouraging the revival of the sandwich course, or by ensuring that university courses were kitemarked as ones that employers valued. And yes, it might indeed be the case, as we have seen with KPMG, that employers wish to sponsor students at university. If there were no Exchequer costs involved, that could provide extra places, so there are lots of different ways we could achieve what my hon. Friend quite rightly wants.
