00:00I think yes the universities do need more money to you know maintain the
00:07standard level of education and learning that they are providing but I
00:11do not think it should be put on to the students to pay any more than what
00:17they're already paying. My daughter's just been in Cardiff Met and really
00:22really struggled to you know see what she got. I mean she got her first class
00:28honours degree out of it but I mean. But from the point of view of how many hours
00:33tuition she actually had was probably a couple hours a week. I mean the costs of
00:38getting educated in this country are just hard. It wasn't hard for me and I feel
00:42like I'm really really lucky from that point of view but I I worry both about
00:46the kids but actually appreciating that you know if you want to be a world
00:51leading research country you've got to invest in your academic sector as well
00:57so I think it's just a really tough question all around.
