This morning, I had a very positive meeting with Justine Greening to discuss the Social Mobility Pledge that she leads, which aims to improve social mobility right across the country.
Businesses, with their prosperity and the careers they can offer people, are key to improving social mobility - and it was great to hear some of the success stories that have been achieved already. That is why I am backing the pledge and will be encouraging businesses and universities across Mid Worcestershire and the wider region to sign up.
