Proceeding contribution from Robert Flello (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 puts the point extremely well. I do not think the Government are anti-university per se, although we have heard some interesting comments from the hon. Member for East Surrey (Mr Gyimah), who said that our education system is ““so bad””—perhaps he was following the Prime Minister's lead in talking down British universities, students and teaching. I think they are more interested in promoting elitism.
