TUITION FEES

Early day motion 122, tabled 19 December 2000 by Baroness Tonge (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 73 members.

That this House is shocked that the average graduate debt is ú5,286 and notes that with the impact of the introduction of tuition fees beginning to be felt this seems likely to rise to over ú10,000; further notes that the abolition of tuition fees and the reintroduction of grants in Scotland has significantly eased student poverty in Scotland; and therefore calls on Her Majesty's Government to follow the example of the Scottish Executive and scrap tuition fees.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 41, Labour 30, Independent 1, UUP 1.
