Proceeding contribution from David Lammy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on Higher Education Fees.


Higher Education Fees

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We should reflect that fees of £9,000 a year could total up to debt of between £40,000 and £50,000 on completion of a university course. That is substantially more than the annual incomes of many of our constituents.
