[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill is about university tuition fees in England. It would change the current system that allows universities to set their own fees (up to £9,250 per year). The bill aims to alter how these fees are managed and controlled, though the exact details depend on what amendments are made during Parliament's discussion.

Presented by Lord Forsyth of Drumlean.
