Commenting on NUS warnings that applications for university places rose by almost a third, Liberal Democrat Education spokeswoman Margaret Smith said:

"We know that record numbers of students are being turned away from Scotland's colleges.

"That's why the Liberal Democrats secured more funding for more college places in the Scottish budget.

"I am not surprised that many students are struggling to find a place at university. The Scottish Government must respond to these figures.

"Scotland needs to be properly equipped with a skilled work force so the economy can not only recover but also support sustainable growth in the future."
