Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 December 2024

Debate

Skills Training

Contribution

I agree that there is a very big pay gap for further education; I gently say to the right hon. Gentleman that it took place over the last 14 years, during which his party was in power. I absolutely accept the challenge that more is required, because our further education colleges have a crucial role to play, but that is the situation we inherited from the Conservative party.
