As a society, we have a duty to seek out and nurture the talent of our young people irrespective of their social background, and the same must apply to our educational institutions.

                           <description><![CDATA[General Secretary, thank you for the introduction and for the opportunity to speak to you today. These are difficult economic times. The international credit crunch. Rising global food prices. The sharp increases and swift changes in world energy prices. Difficult times triggered by international events. We know that global forces can produce great wealth; but we also know that they can push societies like ours towards greater insecurity, inequality and unfairness. But it is in these times of insecurity that the values of trade unions and the Labour movement are most important. This Labour Government has been at our best...]]></description>

One reason is that I have written and spoken about this over many years, in bad years, and in good. The other is that I, personally, have been here before. I had to take my seat from third place in1983 to scrape in by 500 votes in 1992. Before hitting a 14,000 majority in 1997. We don&rsquo;t have that long. But the process...]]></description>

I'd like give my welcome to Tim Melville-Ross at his first annual conference. I told the Council some months ago that Ministers are grateful to such a high calibre group of people for giving their time to HEFCE. With only 265 staff, you distribute &pound;7.5 billion annually to 131 universities and HE colleges, and 128 directly-funded FE colleges. You free ministers from both the need and the temptation to become involved in numerous detailed decisions, and your role in sustaining our...]]></description>

 My father introduced me to CP Snow as I was starting secondary school. For my father, the attraction lay in their shared experience of being the first members of families of modest backgrounds to go to university. For me, it was Snow's descriptions of what he famously termed the "corridors of power" that captured my imagination, long before I'd ever dreamt I might walk them myself. As a budding scientist in those days, I...]]></description>

 I’m delighted to be here as the first Secretary of State in the new Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills.

 I know that it is difficult to strike up an intimate relationship with 400 members of an audience from a podium, but I do want to underline the importance that I and my ministerial team place on understanding your needs as employers and on getting a system that can deliver what you need.

                           <description><![CDATA[13 September 2007

 I’m delighted to be here as the first Secretary of State in the new Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills.

 As many of you have remarked, the new Department - created as one of the first acts of a new Prime Minister - gives Universities – along with science, innovation, colleges and skills - a new and direct voice in Cabinet.

 The formation of DIUS does not mean that past policies, past Ministers, or indeed, Higher Education itself have failed.

 If our benchmark was comparing today with a few years ago, this could a very complacent...]]></description>
