Mr Speaker
I am extremely grateful for that ministerial head-nod, if I can put it that way.
Stephen Metcalfe (South Basildon and East Thurrock) (Con)
Will my right hon. Friend the Minister join me in reassuring my constituents that, unlike the views of the Opposition, under our scheme a top-quality university degree will actually cost them only £30 a month when they are earning £25,000 a year?
Mr Willetts
I entirely agree. Indeed, that figure on earnings of £25,000 a year contrasts with payments of £75 a month under the arrangements we inherited from the Labour Government.
