They believe it is justified to make attempts at cutting the structural deficit by increasing student debt.\r\n\r\nThis will inhibit those from poorer backgrounds from going to university both due to the lack of support from bursaries, and fears about access due to the mountain of debt to follow the completion of a degree.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2011-08-04T15:11:48.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:26:27.780Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:32:42.842Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2011-08-04T15:11:48.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
