- Question
- Does my right hon. Friend agree that universities should be free to admit students on the basis of merit?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend is entirely right. It is welcome that a greater proportion of 18-year-olds are applying to university than at any time in the past 13 years. No one pays up-front for their tuition or other fees, which is also welcome. He is absolutely right that university entry is about academic merit.
