HC Deb 30 January 1986 vol 90 c570W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action he is taking to warn the public against paying for diplomas and degrees offered for sale by the Mendocino book company; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Walden

The Government have no knowledge of this company's activities. We deplore the practice of selling bogus qualifications but believe that no solution is possible without legislation. Proposals for legislation are under consideration.
