In reply to Fly I am sure Nick Clegg doesn't need my advice as he has robustly answered his critics on the student fees issue. In general though I am encouraged that the number of people applying for university places has gone up. Once you graduate and get a good job you pay off the loan bit by bit over a long period of time. Lib Dems fought for this time to be longer and for the threshold of earnings to start paying back the loan to be higher. Both of these happened and are helping students.
We all understand that not only some would be students in 2010 but parents and grandparents were worried about whether they would be unable to have the choice to go to university. Things have evened out since then and I hope the 'trust' will come back when young people see that we are doing some really progressive things in government to help them.

Thank you.
