Rejected petition Stop subsidy by English taxpayers to Scottish University students/

At present English (I don't know about Welsh or Northern Irish ) taxpayers subsidise the Scottish University system through taxation that allows Scottish students to attend University for fee free whilst English students have to take out loans -to the sum of £27,000 for fees alone before living cost

More details

This is bona fide truth does not require referencing-Nicola Sturgeon wants Scotland to be in EU and UK and keep the pound no doubt she wants English taxpayers to continue to subsidise the Scottish University system.THIS IS UNFAIR,UNDEMOCRATIC,UNACCEPTABLE.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Higher education funding in Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish Government. That means that the UK Government and Parliament don't make decisions about university fees in Scotland.

We can only accept petitions about actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government and/or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
