A recent YouGov poll found that 88% of the public do not want the current review of higher education funding to even consider increasing fees.

The National Union of Students (NUS) is concerned that the review will prevent politicians coming clean about their position on fees at the next election so they are asking all MPs and prospective parliamentary candidates (PPCs) to sign up to their pledge so students and their families can be clear about their intentions on this vital issue. Voters need to know where there candidates stand. I am committed to a fairer funding solution for higher education, that meets the twin aims of encouraging wider access to our universities whilst maintaining, and increasing, the competitive strength of British universities.  That is why I have signed up to NUS’ campaign:

“I pledge to vote against any increase in fees in the next parliament and to pressure the government to introduce a fairer alternative”
