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


Higher Education Fees

The hon. Lady talks about top universities, but the Russell group of universities says:"““There has been much misinformation about the effect of fees on access. The evidence is clear that fees do not deter poorer students from university—particularly when combined with a progressive repayment system, precisely as the Government is proposing.””" Does that not destroy her argument?
