During the recent BBC interview, Clegg appeared defensive, stating, “they can say what they like … they’re only going to be given permission to [charge £9,000] if they can prove that they can dramatically increase the number of people from poorer and disadvantaged backgrounds”.
These remarks were described by one Oxford academic as “bollocks”.
