OPPOSITION DAY (7th allotted day)

[Until 10.00 pm]

That this House congratulates the Youth Sport Trust on achieving major advances in youth sport over the past decade; believes
that a good school sports policy must always be a combination of competition with coaching and opportunities for all to participate;
notes that the number of young people doing two hours of sport a week has risen from 25 per cent. in 2002 to at least 90 per
cent. last year, with over 1.6 million more young people involved in competitive sport between schools than in 2006; believes
that removing funding for the Youth Sport Trust, cutting the specialist school status and dismantling School Sport Partnerships
will undermine the Olympic legacy and the fight against obesity in young people; and therefore calls on the Government to
reverse this decision, and to work with the Youth Sport Trust to find a solution that does not deprive children of the many
health, wellbeing and educational advantages they gain from school sport.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
That this House believes that the Government should publish a White Paper on higher education in England, setting out the
full detail of its plans for higher education funding and student finance before asking Parliament to vote on whether to raise
the fee cap; is concerned that major questions about how the Government’s market in higher education is intended to work remain
unanswered; is concerned that recent graduates will be responsible for repaying loans for up to 30 years because the teaching
grant is being cut by 80 per cent.; and urges the Higher Education Minister to bring forward publication of the White Paper.
|
|
|
As an Amendment to Edward Miliband’s proposed Motion (Tuition fees):
|
|
|
|
(a)
|
| |
Line 1, leave out from ‘House’ to end and add ‘notes that, according to a report by the Sutton Trust, 90 per cent. of Members of
this House received a university education; that an overwhelming majority of Members received this university education for
free without the payment of tuition fees; believes that education is a right, not a privilege and that the introduction and
the raising of tuition fees is an ideological and political choice; is concerned at the effects of the long-term imposition
of debt upon young people; further notes the negative impact that tuition fee increases in England will have upon the ability
of devolved legislatures to determine their own policy due to the funding system; and expresses disappointment at the original
decision by the previous Government to introduce tuition fees, which undermined the principle of free higher education and
led to the situation where institutions may now increase fees by up to 300 per cent.’.
