Christine Jardine

Liberal Democrat — Edinburgh West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2024

Debate

Higher Education Reform

Contribution

Does the Secretary of State accept that it might have been better to hold a wider review of the whole system—it is broken; we know that—instead of jumping immediately to putting up tuition fees? She says that we all respect and want to protect our world-beating universities, but how does she square that with her Government removing the funding for the exascale computer at Edinburgh University, which would have maintained not only its position, but our whole university sector’s position?
