Further and Higher Education Funding

Volume 521: debated on Tuesday 18 January 2011

On behalf of my constituents I present this petition from the staff and students of Swallow Hill community college in the Leeds West constituency.

The Petition of students and staff of Swallow Hill Community College, and others,

Declares that the Petitioners oppose the abolition of the Education Maintenance Allowance; and further declares that the Petitioners oppose the Government's decision to raise Higher Education tuition fees.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to reverse its decisions to abolish the Education Maintenance Allowance and to raise Higher Education tuition fees.

And the Petitioners remain, etc.
