ABOLITION OF THE GRADUATE ENDOWMENT FEE IN SCOTLAND

That this House welcomes the abolition of the graduate endowment fee and the restoration of free education in Scotland by the SNP Scottish Government; expresses relief that Labour's right-wing alliance with the Conservatives in Scotland, which attempted to keep this back-end tuition fee, failed; endorses the Scottish Government's view that education should be based on ability to learn and not the ability to pay; and believes that the Westminster Government should follow the Scottish Government's example.
