Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tom Brake (Liberal Democrat), on Thursday, 25 March 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 17 members in total.


LONDON'S PART-TIME STUDENTS

That this House welcomes the impact that accessible and flexible part-time higher education makes to the lives of many people in the UK; praises the particular role that Birkbeck College (University of London) plays in London and welcomes its new collaborations in the east London Borough of Newham; recognises that the part-time sector has a funding inequity of 43 per cent. by needing full-time buildings and resources yet only receiving a part-time equivalence injection of funds; and calls on the Government to ensure that cuts to the higher education budget will not be extended to the already disproportionately under-funded part-time sector.
