Parmjit holds tuition fee debate in Parliament
This week Parmjit Singh Gill MP, Member of Parliament for Leicester South, held an adjournment debate in the House of Commons on University Tuition and top-up fees. Responding for the Government was the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Education and Skills, Derek Twigg MP. Highlighted, were the growing concerns of students from both the University of Leicester and De Montfort about their increasing debt burden. Despite repeated proposals for the Minister to meet with a delegation of students from Leicester to hear their concerns directly, the Minister claimed the proposal was 'not viable'.
