“Plaid is critical of spending money to send the brightest young people out of Wales, so this would be reform to get young people to stay at Welsh unis.” Plaid would rather keep the money in Wales, OK, but by doing so would restrict the most able from achieving their potential, not so good. As an English alumnus of Prifysgol De Cymru such a restrictive approach won’t improve the lot of Welsh students.

It was created by Lord Murphy to get Welsh young people into Oxbridge, then it shifted into getting them into a Rusell Group.
