HC Deb 11 December 2003 vol 415 cc579-80W
Lady Hermon

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what discussions he has had with representatives from Northern Ireland's universities in relation to tuition fees. [142694]

Jane Kennedy

I have had no discussions with representatives from Northern Ireland's Universities in relation to tuition fees. If student fees are increased in England, I will consider the implications for Northern Ireland with my officials and the relevant stakeholders, with a view to bringing forward proposals for consultation.
