Members of the House of Commons select committee on education were in Prague this week to attend the European Access Network's annual conference. While David Chaytor, Labour MP for Bury North, was arguing that degree courses in golf-course management have their place in British higher education, his colleague, Jeff Ennis, the Labour MP for Barnsley East and Mexborough, was in slightly more flippant mood. He quipped that a course in crazy-golf management could be worth a foundation degree.
