Tuition Fees

Gregg McClymont Excerpts

Tuesday 30th November 2010 Commons Chamber

[Gregg McClymont (Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East) (Lab)]

My hon. Friend raises the important point of the 80% cut in the teaching grant. Does he agree that that is a profound retreat from state funding of the British university system?

[Anas Sarwar]

I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend and that is why we need a wider debate on the role of the state in educating our young people.
