Cable wins battle over access tsar

Cable wins battle over access tsar
Vince Cable is expected to win the battle with Conservative backbenchers over his choice for the new university access tsar.

Mr Cable's choice for the position, Les Ebdon, will now almost certainly be appointed director general of the Office for Fair Access (OFFA), despite attempts by the Business, Innovation and Skills select committee to block the move.

Members of the committee had said they were "not convinced" by Professor Ebdon's descriptions of the "root causes of the obstacles to accessing universities."

However the Prime Minister's spokesman has revealed that Downing Street has no powers to block the appointment.
