Proceeding contribution from Eric Joyce (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Higher Education.


Higher Education

I do not think that it is perverse to celebrate the fact that a higher number of students are leaving school more qualified to go to university. The hon. Gentleman said earlier that we had effectively reached saturation point among the better-off going to university. Clearly, the level of payment that people in the better-off groups are making is not affecting their entry into higher education. Is he arguing that the better-off should be paying more, to subsidise the least well off?
