Laura Spence Affair
The Laura Spence Affair was a British political row in 2000, caused by the failure of a high-flying state school pupil to secure a place at Oxford University. Comments by Labour MP and Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown triggered a fierce political debate about perceptions of elitism and the question of how accessible the UK's top universities are to pupils educated at state schools.
