I shall get a further listen. I'm not doing too badly thanks, considering I've now clocked up three quarters of a century! Hope all is well for you

Thanks for this. Takes me back to late Pink Floyd

A clear implication of full fees was that without baked-in index-linking, maintaining the value of fees would become politically impossible. Add to that the refusal for years to exclude students from immigration concerns, and you'd be excused for claiming that Universities have been doomed.

This wasn't a party issue. All MPs vote as individuals in this case.
