Sarah Teather Launches Tuition Fees Text Poll

12.53.21pm GMT Sat 19th Feb 2005

Liberal Democrat spokesperson for London Sarah Teather MP has today launched an interactive text poll on her website www.sarahteather.org.uk. The Brent East MP is asking for opinions on the Liberal Democrats plans to scrap tuition fees. The Liberal Democrats are committed to scrapping tuition fees as they have done in Scotland. To pay for this we will introduce a 50p tax rate on incomes over £100,000.

Local Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather said:

"Tuition fees will be one of the key issues to many at the forthcoming General Election. Many people are now suffering horrendous levels of debt because of Labour's broken promise on this issue. The Liberal Democrats would scrap tuition fees as we have done in Scotland. Tuition fees have affected thousands of people, they are an unfair tax on students."

To vote, text either:

libdem scrapfees yes

libdem scrapfees no

...to 60300.

Texts cost 25p plus your standard operator SMS costs.

To be texted the current result on the Scrap Fees poll, text libdem scrapfees to 60300
