Custom byline text:
We have no intention or desire to charge higher fees to rest-of-UK (RUK) students than the current cap of £9000 as erroneously stated in the sub-heading to the article. In our submission to the Scottish Parliament's Education Committee we said legislation was not required to ensure compliance with an upper-fee limit equal to the maximum elsewhere in the UK as Scotland's universities have held to this cap voluntarily for the academic year 2012/13 and for the fees set out for new entrants in 2013/14.
