Brent labour Press Release on Tuition fees

E-mail Print PDF

BETRAYED

 

 

Brent’s young people and their families were left reeling with shock as Brent Central’s Lib-Dem MP last night broke her solemn promise to vote against increased tuition fees.

 

Students will have to pay fees of up to £9,000 per year of University, under the new plans voted in last night in the face of mass public protest. 323 MPs voted for the increase. 302 MPs, including all Labour MPs, 21 Lib Dems and even 6 Conservatives, voted against. Before the election, Brent’s Lib Dem MP pledged to vote against any increase in fees.

 

Strikingly, many Liberal Democrats did keep their word, and voted against the huge hike in student fees. However, all those on the Government payroll chose to break their pre-election pledge, rather than resign from their Ministerial jobs.

 

Brent Central’s Lib Dem MP is in the spotlight as she often spoke out against tuition fees, before she joined the Government payroll, and specifically about their impact in Brent. In her first speech in Parliament, she said:

 

“I shall touch on another issue that is of huge importance in Brent—it was raised with me regularly on the doorstep—and that is tuition fees and top-up fees...

 I feel immense frustration when I hear talk about widening participation while we are debating the introduction of a policy that will deter the very students we are trying to attract. Fear of debt is just as real as debt, and that is why this is such an issue in my constituency. It is likely to deter students from lower-income backgrounds and ethnic minority communities—particularly the Muslim community, which is very large in my constituency—who often have very different attitudes to debt.”

 

Cllr Ann John, Labour leader of Brent Council, said:

 

“Brent’s voters have been betrayed in the cruellest way by their Liberal Democrat MP. Many local residents are telling me they are dismayed their support is being used to prop up the Conservative Government’s attack on our community.”

 

 

Cllr Muhammed Butt, Deputy Leader of Brent Council, also commented:

 

“People in Brent care deeply about University – we have some of the best education rates in the country, despite not being among the richest. It’s depressing how quickly our Lib-Dem MP has swapped her principles for a pay rise and the perks of a Government job.”
