Former Education Secretary David Blunkett has responded to Lord Browne's review of higher education, which proposes a lifting of the cap on student tuition fees.
Mr Blunkett blasted the Liberal Democrats, saying: "This is a complete betrayal by the Liberal Democrats of everything that they have ever said on higher education and of the platform they stood on at the General Election."
Warning that the reforms would lead to an unfettered market in higher education, Mr Blunkett added: “So much for fairness, social mobility and equality of opportunity. I fear that, coupled with the draconian cuts in this country’s investment in the knowledge economy to be announced by George Osborne next week, we are burning the seed corn of Britain’s future."
