Proceeding contribution from Lord Willetts (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 January 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Postgraduate Education.


Postgraduate Education

In the negotiations that happened under the previous Labour Government, when Lord Mandelson was Secretary of State and I was shadow Secretary of State, I specifically urged that the terms of reference should make it clear that postgraduates, not just undergraduates, were included. The terms of reference included postgraduates, but Lord Browne did not advance any specific proposals. Postgraduates were included in the terms of reference partly at the request of the official Opposition.
