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


Higher Education Fees

Many of my hon. Friend's constituents live fairly close to my constituency, which houses the university of Central Lancashire. Many of our constituents probably thought that £3,000 was quite a lot when the Labour Government originally voted to introduce tuition fees. In fact, we found that £3,000 fees did not close the market. The vice-chancellor of the university of Central Lancashire tells me, however, that fees of £9,000 will close the market, as they will frighten people off going to university.
