Higher Education Fees

Proceeding contribution from Caroline Lucas (Green Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on Higher Education Fees.
The hon. Gentleman rightly spoke about the importance of employers paying their contribution towards higher education. Does he therefore support the University and College Union's proposal for a business education tax that would essentially be a corporation tax on the 4% biggest companies that benefit directly from graduates? That would generate £3.9 billion for higher education and would mean that we could scrap tuition fees altogether.
