NATIONAL UNION OF STUDENTS FUNDING THE FUTURE CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 799, tabled 28 February 2003 by John Grogan (Labour). Signed by 158 members.

That this House supports the National Union of Students' campaign against student top-up fees; agrees that the Government's proposals for top-up fees will mean access to university is based on ability to pay not ability to learn; and urges the Government to abandon its plans for top-up fees which will lead to a two-tier higher education system.
