University cuts paving way for tuition fees hike says Williams

Thu, 18 Mar 2010

“There is a real fear that these cuts are preparing the ground for tuition fees to be raised," said the Liberal Democrat Shadow Universities Secretary.

Commenting on the Government’s announcements of cuts to university budgets, Stephen Williams said:

“Universities and young people are bearing the brunt of Labour’s economic failure.

“There is a real fear that these cuts are preparing the ground for tuition fees to be raised.  It would be totally unfair for young people, the innocent victims of the financial crisis, to be punished in this way.”
