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

Absolutely right. Lord Browne produced an excellent report. There is a group, ““Blairites for Browne””, but of course they fell for that trick once before, so they are a bit wary this time. The House should recognise that our proposals improve on the inheritance from the Labour Government. We have not only raised the threshold but increased the maintenance support available to students. Indeed, 500,000 students will receive more grant than they currently do.
