Uneducated people in Britain voted to leave the EU and the government must ensure more people from "disadvantaged backgrounds" go to university, a Minister has suggested.

Jo Johnson, brother of the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson, said there was a "correlation" between levels of "education generally" and a "propensity" to vote Brexit.

The Universities Minister said "too many" people in Britain fell "left behind" and should be encouraged to seek a higher level of education.

According to the polls, university graduates were the most likely people to want to remain in the EU – while those with a GCSE or equivalent as their highest qualification were more likely to back Brexit.
