The Telegraph: Oxford and Cambridge universities could increase fees to ?16,000 (or about 166,400 yuan) a year under new plans expected to appear in the Conservative manifesto.

Both universities are understood to plug gaps in funding themselves to cover the cost of teaching small groups, not apparently covered by the current ?9,000 a year fee.

David Willetts, the former education secretary, said he had held talks with Britain's top universities to discuss if they would want to buy their students' loan debts and collect them. This would mean they could then increase the fees.

He told the Sunday Times: "There is a long standing issue with Ox bridge, because their distinctive high model means that the ?9,000 does not cover all their costs."
