Plaid: ‘Biggest breach of trust yet’
Plaid Cymru MP Jonathan Edwards condemns the passage of the government’s legislation on tuition fees:
“The only reason this vote got through was because of the Lib Dem ministers.
“The political price of their government roles will be high – this is the biggest breach of trust yet.
“We expect nothing better of the Tories – but the Lib Dems have u-turned yet again on their principles.
“They have betrayed the trust of young people and future generations by breaking their promise to fight against increasing tuition fees.
“Let’s remember that the principle of free higher education to benefit society was of course broken by the New Labour government back in 1997. Plaid Cymru is therefore the only party fighting for our students and the right to higher education.”
