David Gold is wrong about Labour policy on top-up fees at universities (Opinion, February 8).
In Parliament on February 8, David Blunkett, the Secretary of State for Education, once again said: "In the next parliament there will be no levying of top-up fees if we win the next general election."
However, top-up fees become inevitable under Tory proposals to privatise our universities so that, according to a Conservative policy document, "they are no longer dependent on government funding".
