Willetts on university funding and fees

David Willetts, who oversaw the introduction of the current tuition fees system in England, spoke to Andrew Neil as Ed Miliband started a speech setting out his party's new policy on university tuition fees.

Studio guests Harry Cole from the Guido Fawkes political blog, and Atul Hatwal, editor of the Labour Uncut blog join in the debate.
