Commenting on the setting up of a review which will look at raising the cap on tuition fees, Liberal Democrat Shadow Universities Secretary, Stephen Williams said:

"This review is nothing but a conspiracy between Labour and the Tories designed to keep plans to hike up tuition fees off the agenda until after the General Election.

"Mandelson has shown he will do whatever it takes to shut out any debate on the future of tuition fees, either in Parliament or the country.

"The Liberal Democrats want to scrap tuition fees and will fight any attempt to raise the cap."
