HC Deb 20 July 2001 vol 372 c768W
Mr. Rosindell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on the graduation style certificate proposed by her Department at the end of June; and what the cost implications are. [6285]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

The proposed award would be for all young people to attain by 19 years of age, and would recognise a range of activities—including voluntary work—as well as formal qualifications. Further substantial work on the proposal, including the cost implications, will need to be undertaken before decisions are made.
