My hon. Friends the Members for Burnley (Gordon Birtwistle) and for Mid Derbyshire (Pauline Latham) effectively made the case that we all have a responsibility to let everybody know that no one will pay a penny in their fees until they are earning over £21,000.

Friend the Member for Mid Derbyshire showed strong support for Derby university and for apprenticeships.
