Debate between Lord Forsyth of Drumlean and Lord Morgan

Tuesday 21st March 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)]

My Lords—

[Lord Morgan (Lab)]

My Lords, is it not—

[Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Con)]

My Lords, would my noble friend care to reflect on the fact that in Scotland, which has St Andrews as the oldest university, the failure of the Scottish Government to have tuition fees for Scottish students has meant that there are no places for Scottish students, and the universities are having to raise the money by having more international students, at the expense of youngsters in Scotland?
