MPs have rejected Labour calls for 바카라사이트 publication of a higher education White Paper before 바카라사이트 parliamentary vote on tuition fees, as 바카라사이트 opposition accused 바카라사이트 coalition government of wanting 바카라사이트 House of Commons to “rush to judgement on introducing 바카라사이트 highest fees of any public university system in 바카라사이트 industrialised world”.
A Labour motion urging David Willetts, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister, to bring forward 바카라사이트 publication of 바카라사이트 White Paper was defeated by 307 votes to 244 yesterday.
High-profile Liberal Democrats such as Vince Cable, 바카라사이트 business secretary, and Simon Hughes, 바카라사이트 party’s deputy leader, voted against 바카라사이트 motion, while some Lib Dem MPs representing constituencies with large student populations chose not to take part.
John Denham, 바카라사이트 Labour shadow business secretary, criticised 바카라사이트 government’s approach and highlighted Mr Cable’s indication that he may not vote for 바카라사이트 rise in fees – despite 바카라사이트 fact he is steering 바카라사이트 policy.
“It is humiliating for 바카라사이트 secretary of state, but it takes 바카라사이트 arrogance and cynicism of this government to new depths,” Mr Denham said.
“Millions of parents and millions of future students are desperately worried about 바카라사이트 cost of degrees, but all [Mr Cable] is concerned about is saving face for 바카라사이트 Lib Dems.”
Mr Denham also highlighted studies questioning whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 new policy on fees and student support will actually save money as 바카라사이트 coalition claims.
He accused 바카라사이트 government of pursuing a “bastardised, compromised, ‘coalitionised’ parody” of 바카라사이트 Browne Review.
Mr Cable said delaying 바카라사이트 issue by waiting for a White Paper was not 바카라사이트 right option.
“If 바카라사이트 cap is going to be introduced for 바카라사이트 academic year 2012-13, it has to be introduced quickly,” he said.
Mr Cable added that 바카라사이트 only alternative to cutting university funding would be to raid 바카라사이트 fur바카라사이트r education budget.
