|
The MP for Leeds North West, is pushing postponing the vote until next year.
|
|
The controversial proposals to treble university tuition fees is due to voted
|
|
on this evening in the Commons.
|
|
|
|
Students, lecturers and activists were preparing to march through central
|
|
London in a last-ditch protest against the Government's plans.
|
|
|
|
There iss speculation that up to half of the Liberal Democrat MPs could rebel
|
|
against the Government later today.
|
|
|
|
Under the terms of the Coalition agreement, the Lib Dems are permitted to
|
|
abstain on the tuition fees if the Government's policy is unacceptable to
|
|
them.
