John Penrose
It is not quite that simple, but I sympathise with the hon. Lady, in that several new approaches that are being trialled in universities throughout the country are extremely promising. We want to pursue those, so perhaps the hon. Lady and I can discuss that further at our meeting later today.

2. What steps the Government are taking to increase social mobility in the civil service.
The Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General (Matthew Hancock)

Lucy Frazer
