Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Leigh Ingham and Georgia Gould

Monday 2nd March 2026 Commons Chamber

[Georgia Gould]

We already teach British values, and we are proud to teach our British heritage and our past to set us up for the future.

[Leigh Ingham (Stafford) (Lab)]

Given that this is Colleges Week, may I take the opportunity to mention Stafford college, which is widely accepted to be the best college in the country? It already has 1,150 students on manufacturing courses, and works with 250 local employers in the sector. Does the Minister agree that if Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group were made an advanced manufacturing technical excellence college, it could build on its excellent relationship with manufacturers locally?
