Proceeding contribution from Lord Willetts (Conservative) 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 right. We have improved on the policies that we inherited from the previous Government. They had a threshold of £15,000 and we are increasing that to £21,000, which is why the poorest quarter of graduates will be better off under our proposals than on the scheme we inherited.
