Higher Education White Paper

Asked for a response to opposition claims that our sole aim was to drive down costs as too many universities were charging now the full 9000 fees, the PMS said that we had always planned to publish further details in a White Paper.

Asked for a response to accusations that Government was making policy up on the hoof, the PMS said that he didn’t accept the claim and that the proposals in the White Paper had built on recommendations set out in Lord Browne’s report.

Asked whether this was about opening universities up to competition, the PMS said this was about giving students more choice.
