That this House is shocked that the average graduate debt is ??5,286 and notes that with the impact of the introduction of tuition fees beginning to be felt this seems likely to rise to over ??10,000; further notes that the abolition of tuition fees and the reintroduction of grants in Scotland has significantly eased student poverty in Scotland; and therefore calls on Her Majesty's Government to follow the example of the Scottish Executive and scrap tuition fees.

Miss Begg: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what representations he has received about this year's winter fuel payment to
pensioners in Scotland. [141577]
Mr. Wilson: The amount of the winter fuel payment has been increased to £200 for households that qualify-- double the amount that
was paid last winter. This is excellent news for the majority of people aged 60 and over in Scotland. Latest information shows that
around 1 million people in Scotland will benefit from payments totalling almost £150 million, including over £2.2 million in
Aberdeen, South constituency.

Mr. Gray: To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the future of rural post offices in Scotland.
[141578]
Mr. Wilson: This Government recognise that post offices form a vital part of the rural community, and are fully committed to
maintaining the existing size and shape of the rural network. We have asked the Post Office to ensure that it prevents any avoidable
closures of rural post offices. This obligation will be written into the social and environmental guidelines under the Postal
Services Act 2000. Where necessary, there will be funds available to back it up.
