Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

I mentioned that low productivity was driving down wages. Is not the point of tuition fees policy to increase the number of qualified people, productivity and national wealth, to end the deterrence for going to university, to stop people having credit ratings that prevent them from buying houses and to stop them not wanting a pay increase in case they have to pay back more of their fees? Surely this makes economic sense, while the Conservative party’s unsustainable economics of low pay and austerity is sending us into bankruptcy.
