The Conservative party have called for a review of tuition fees for 2009.

The Labour government has promised a review within the next 2 years, however shadow universities secretary David Willetts commented: "A proper review takes time. We do not need to make a decision any sooner than the government suggests - but why waste this two years which could be spent collecting data, talking to people, or analysing what is happening? "We are not calling for the cap to be lifted and we are not calling for it to be lowered. Nobody knows enough about tuition fees and their impact to make any decisions at all on this issue,".
