WIDENING ACCESS TO HIGHER EDUCATION

Early day motion 426, tabled 15 November 2001 by David Drew (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 114 members.

That this House supports the goals of widening access and increasing participation in higher education and ending student hardship; also welcomes the Government's plans for reviewing student finance with these goals in mind; and therefore, in common with the National Union of Students, urges the Government to introduce grants for low-income students and end the current system of tuition fees.
