Motion On Higher Education Higher Amounts

EDM number 1130 in 2010-12, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 02/12/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Higher education.

That this House notes the proposal by the Leader of the House that a motion on Higher Education Higher Amounts be moved by the Government on 9 December 2010; considers that the proposed motion should not be moved, as the Government has failed to convince many people that its proposals will be fair and sustainable; urges the Government to withdraw its proposed motion immediately and instead to undertake more public consultation on the issue of funding of higher education, including consultation with those future graduates and their families who did not contribute to the consultation over the Browne review; and further considers that the Government should come forward with a full White Paper on reform in 2011 and should allow time in this process for consultation and for alternative proposals to be properly considered to ensure a fair and sustainable solution for higher education funding.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
