as a result of these tory policies, this country will stand alone with romania as the only oecd countries cutting investment in higher education. the prime minister's speech yesterday, which was meant to be a defence of this policy, shows that he does not understand the most basic features of his policy. the fee increases are not designed to raise extra money for universities. that was labor's scheme-we took the difficult decision to introduce top-up fees, to add to record university income, and to enable more students to go to better-funded universities. the prime minister's plan, put forward by the business secretary, is totally different. fees are being trebled simply to reduce the 80% cut in the funding of university teaching, not to raise extra money. most graduates will be asked not to pay something towards their university education, but to pay the entire cost of their university education. universities will have to charge £7,000 to 8,000 simply to replace the money they lose, and many universities will lose 90% of their public funding. that is what is at stake today . if the house

there is austria, hungary, romania, greece, albania, italy and the adriatic.in the middle of this is what used to be yugoslavia, now broken up into four different areas, slovenia which seceded first in 1991 after a brief war, croatia which broke away at the end of '91 and had a brutal war with serbia over its dissolution, the former jiewg slav republic of macedonia here on the north of greece which broke away without a war. they're the only part that became independent without a war. and today any ya herzegovina where the war which this book is primarily about took place although there's a lot here, also, about croatia. now, here is yugoslavia divided into serbia and be montenegro. and down here is kosovo, the area of the current headlines which is a province within serbia. now, when each of these areas broke away, the serbs said, shot on our watch, and they went to war to prevent it. claiming, by the way, the american civil war as one of their precedents. in each case they were really trying to protect the serb minorities in the other countries, the serb mino

because of the prime minister's policies, we in this country will stand alone with romania as the only country in the oecd casting our environment -- cutting our investment in higher education. but yesterday's speech by the prime minister, which is a defense of these policies, is he does not understand the most basic features of the policy he's putting forward. these fee increases are not designed to raise extra money for universities. that was labour ski. that was our scheme. -- that was labour scheme. that was our scheme. it came on top of university income and it enabled more students to go to better funded universities. the prime minister's plan, put forward by the business secretary, is totally different. it is to simply reduce the 80% cut in the funding of university teaching, not to raise extra money. most graduates will be asked not to pay something towards their education but to pay the entire cost of their university education. universities will have to charge 7,000 to 8,000 pounds simply to replace the money they lose. and many universities will lose 90% of their public fund

of the berlin wall and the victory of the trade union solidarity and of course the liberation of romania is the historic election -- we recall the inspiration by two million people living in estonia, latvia and lithuania who actually linked hands to form a human chain almost 400 miles long in a peaceful protest against soviet rule. after decades of oppressive soviet occupation, the baltic peoples remained committed to one day regaining independence and living in freedom. that dream, of course, became a reality in 1991 when the three baltic nations gave full -- gained full independence. those final days leading up to the independence, i'll never forget, being in vilnius with steny hoyer and other members, we were there to stand in solidarity with president burgess who was under a ever-present threat that the black berets, the soviet storm troopers, were poised to take over the parliament building and to take over the executive branch. they killed people at a tv tower. there was actually a gun there, there was a tank. we went up and visited, pay our respects to the people who had been slai
