Labour whip in the House of Lords Baroness Blake today praised University Technical Colleges during a debate on the numbers of girls studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

In response to a question from the Bishop of Derby, Baroness Blake said: “The work UTCs are doing is a real template and it just proves that given the right opportunities, the right background, the right culture, women can exceed at everything.”
