Ministers see off rebels in bill triumph

Article Abstract:

Labour ministers saw the government's higher education bill, which includes plans to introduce variable tuition fees of up to UKPd3,000/yr, pass its third reading in the House of Commons with its core proposals intact, despite opposition from Liberal Democrats, Tories and a number of rebel Labour backbench MPs. The bill will now enter the House of Lords where the government will rely on the 182 Labour peers, plus the majority of the 180 non-affiliated crossbench peers to get the bill past the 272 Tory and Liberal Democrat peers without any amendments.
