Willets.

Many moons ago, David Willets was considered to be 'the rising star' (with added luminescent tendencies) of the tory party.

That was indeed a long time ago. Since then he has had other tendencies - towards the liberal wing of what has long been a left of centre unit, in any case.

BUT, at last he has had a bright idea, it's been a long time-a-comin', admittedly - but at least it has arrived as printed in today's Sunday Telegraph:

'Mr Willetts said the Government was looking for a "transformation" in the amount of information students receive in proposals outlined in the long-awaited White Paper on higher education.

In an interview with BBC Breakfast, he said: "There are some courses that are far better at preparing young people for the world of work than others. At the moment, the student finds it very hard to get that information.

"In future, they are going to be able to see “If I do biological sciences at one university, I have got a much better chance of a job in a pharmaceutical company than if I do biological sciences at a different university.'
