Welsh Conservatives will scrap university tuition fee grant

The Welsh Conservatives will scrap the grant which pays the majority of tuition fees for Welsh students, if they are in government after next year's assembly election.

Party leader Andrew RT Davies told the Sunday Politics Wales programme the Tuition Fee Grant is unaffordable .

Welsh students in the UK currently pay the first £3,500 of fees with the Welsh government covering the rest.

Mr Davies spoke to BBC Wales' political correspondent Arwyn Jones.
