HC Deb 08 June 2000 vol 351 c343W 343W

§ 26. Mr. Rammell
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will make a statement on his response to the Russell Group of Universities' proposals for top-up student fees. [123360]

§ Mr. Wicks
The Government have legislated to prevent higher education institutions from charging "top-up" tuition fees. We are putting increased resources into higher education. This is an 11 per cent. increase in real terms amounting to an extra £1 billion in the four years from 1998.
