'Universities should recruit more white, working-class boys in the same way they target students from other disadvantaged groups, the universities minister has suggested.

David Willetts says white, working-class teenage boys should be targeted alongside ethnic minorities and those from disadvantaged communities when universities look to attract students.

His suggestion comes against the backdrop of a drastic fall in the number of university applications from men.'
