Sir Lindsay Hoyle has asked the Government to start a “full” leak inquiry to find out how news of the Government’s increase in tuition fees was reported in the press before it was announced in Parliament.
The Commons speaker said it was of “great discourtesy” that it had been reported before Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson’s addressed Parliament on Monday afternoon. She has announced tuition fees will rise to £9,535 in England next year.
