Proceeding contribution from Gareth Thomas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on Higher Education Fees.
Higher Education Fees
On sloppy thinking, crucial to the Government's case has been their advocacy of the national scholarship fund, but since the weekend when he announced further details, have the Secretary of State's plans not been unravelling rather fast? Vice-chancellors are criticising it left, right and centre, and yesterday, the Institute for Fiscal Studies told us that it provides a financial incentive for universities to turn away students from poorer backgrounds. How is he going to fix it?
