Higher Education Fees

Debate between Edward Leigh and David Evennett

Thursday 9th December 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Edward Leigh (Gainsborough) (Con)]

It is quite right that we should help people on low incomes, but will my hon. Friend say a word about the many people whom we represent who are in work and have moderate incomes? They also need help and must not be disadvantaged. Middle-income Britain cannot go on paying for this.

[Mr Evennett]

My hon. Friend makes a very good point. Middle England will be looked on favourably because we want to get more students into university who have the ability, talent and determination to go there.
