Proceeding contribution from John Denham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Employment, Universities and Skills and Housing.


Employment, Universities and Skills and Housing

The hon. Gentleman knows, if he has been listening, that we will invest £100 million a year more than we planned when we announced changes in 2007. Also, significantly more students—we think 40 per cent. rather than 33 per cent. of students—will get the full grant, and all students will receive more grant, up to £50,000 a year household income, than they would have received in 2007. The Opposition should recognise the significant improvement that has taken place in the grants system, compared with that which existed just a few years ago. I know that others wish to speak in the debate—
