Clause 8 - Initial contribution by Inland Revenue
Child Trust Funds Bill
3:00 pm
Mr George Osborne (Tatton, Conservative)
We have had a good debate. I enjoyed the contribution from my hon. Friend the Member for Blaby. I was disappointed that he had not been here for some of our earlier proceedings, because he could have made similarly illuminating contributions. I think that he is unduly pessimistic about top-up fees. As he would know if he had read the front page of The Times, some members of the Committee feature in the rebel memos. If they get their act together, people may be able to spend their child trust funds on things other than tuition fees. However, we shall leave that to Government Members.
