Higher Education Funding (No. 2)

EDM number 1127 in 2008-09, proposed by Stephen Williams on 18/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Higher education.

That this House notes that the Government is bound by legislation to undertake a review of university and student finance in 2009; calls on the Government to complete and publish the outcome of this review before calling a general election; expects such a review to fully reflect the responsibility of the state in providing access to higher education; expresses concern at recent comments from some vice-chancellors regarding the raising of the cap on tuition fees; and believes that it is right in principle to scrap existing tuition fees for all students studying for their first degrees either full-time or part-time and that ever-increasing levels of graduate debt is an unsustainable model for the future financing of higher education.

This motion has been signed by a total of 61 MPs.
