Moore defends tuition fees U-turn

VOTERS accept that political parties will not deliver all of their manifesto pledges, Scottish Secretary Michael Moore has said.

The LibDem MP also said Nick Clegg's tuition fees apology was "brave and right".

In an interview with The Herald, he said: "The apology is a very important statement that recognises for Nick, and for the rest of us, how difficult the decision was on tuition fees two years ago."
