Proceeding contribution from Lord Triesman (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 December 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Higher Education (Basic Amount) (England) Regulations 2010.


Higher Education (Basic Amount) (England) Regulations 2010

I wanted to complete my point about the intervention of the noble Lord, Lord Ashdown. It is simply this. There is no question in my mind, and it is not a Dickensian point, that people who are in the lowest-income families do not set off to attract massive debt. There is a huge dissuasion in that. Anyone who has come up through one of those families or one of those areas will know it.
