Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 December 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sixth-Form Colleges (VAT).
Sixth-Form Colleges (VAT)
My hon. Friend may be interested to know that my very first debate in Parliament, 16 years ago, was about sixth-form colleges and took place in this room, but that is beside the point. At that time, I described sixth-form colleges as the geese that lay golden eggs; I think she has made that point today. Of course, one other thing that sixth-form colleges do is to bring together young people from different schools and different communities. They are often situated in areas of diversity and they are a tremendous force for social cohesion. Does she accept that point?
