Mark Alcock signs Tuition Fees pledge8.20.00pm GMT Thu 4th Mar 2010
Local Shadow MP for Oldham West & Royton including Chadderton, Mark Alcock has promised to lend his voice, and his vote, to a student led campaign against future tuition fee hikes. Mark has signed up to the NUS 'Funding our Future' pledge. He promised that if elected as MP for Oldham West & Royton including Chadderton at the next election he would vote against any increase in tuition fees and would fight for a fairer alternative to funding higher education in Oldham West & Royton and the UK. He also discussed the Liberal Democrat commitment to abolish tuition fees in the first six years of a Liberal Democrat Government, a pledge which has been welcomed by students across the country. Mark Alcock said: "I am 100% committed to supporting the NUS Funding our Future Pledge. Liberal Democrats were the only party who argued against the introduction of Tuition Fees in 2003, and have been the only party since to campaign against them. "Tuition fees are an aggressive tax on the aspirations of thousands of young people. It is hypocritical of those MPs who sit in the Commons today having benefited from a University education to close the doors on all those who come after them."
