Students win MP's fees vow

EDINBURGH North and Leith MP Mark Lazarowicz has become the latest politician to sign a pledge to Edinburgh students that he will vote against any increase in tuition fees in England.

Mr Lazarowicz signed the pledge at Edinburgh University Students' Association as part of a campaign to stop an increase in tuition fees in England.

Fees in England are currently under review and many believe this will result in an increase, widening the gap between Scottish and English universities.
