THE Labour candidate for Heslington looks dishonest (‘Dishonest Policy’, Letters December 11), for his letter is wrong and the matter is simple enough.
The coalition policy on university tuition fees does not “make university access based on ability to pay rather than ability to learn”. For the truth is this: no university student will need to pay any tuition fees before getting a degree; and only those earning more than £21,000 a year (today’s prices) will have to pay anything afterwards. A graduate with lower earnings will pay no tuition fees, before, during, or after his or her studies.
