Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2024

Debate

Higher Education Reform

Contribution

Going to university is often a long-term investment in someone’s earning potential and career opportunities, but the chance to study is also good in and of itself. That means that we must value and respect a wide range of courses and opportunities, including subjects like music, art and much more besides, although many well-paid, great careers also result from studying such subjects.
