Clause 23 - Condition that may be required to be imposed by English funding bodies
Higher Education Bill
7:45 pm

Mr Tim Boswell (Daventry, Conservative)
I do not imagine it is being suggested—I suspect that not even the hon. Member for Nottingham, North is suggesting—that the access regulator should be imposed on the gap year provision. However, having said that, I have visited some of the gap year organisations. Does my hon. Friend agree that they have the strongest possible interest in widening access to their services for all kinds of people? It is by no means universally a middle-class provision—nor should it be.
