Proceeding contribution from Baroness Blackstone (Labour Independent) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 January 2020. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill.
European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill
Does the Minister accept that the Chevening scholarship scheme has absolutely nothing to do with Erasmus? As a former Minister responsible for all post-school education, I am familiar with these schemes. The Chevening scheme is for master’s degree-level programmes and for students coming to the UK; it is not for British students going out to other countries, whether in Europe or elsewhere. Why the Minister’s officials have put this in his speech, and why he does not realise that it has absolutely nothing to do with Erasmus, I simply cannot imagine.
