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
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for that question, because I was about to say that the first myth that Government Members have peddled is that the Government have no choice in this matter because of the economic situation. As my right hon. Friend the Member for Southampton, Itchen (Mr Denham) pointed out in his speech, even within the terms of their reckless approach to reducing the deficit, the Government could have proposed a fee increase of hundreds of pounds, not thousands of pounds.
