The Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill had its third reading, a chance for members to make sure the eventual law is effective, workable and without loopholes, on Tuesday 12 September
The Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill will support the goverment's lifelong loan entitlement policy by creating a new credit-based method for calculating maximum tuition fee limits for modules, short courses and full courses in England. This will ensure that learners who study flexibly are not charged disproportionately and allows access to post-18 education throughout a person's working life.
Third reading is a chance for members ‘tidy up' a bill, making small changes to ensure it is effective.
No changes to the bill were suggested ahead of third reading. Members discussed the progress of the bill at the conclusion of its Lords stages.
