The Council of Ministers is understood to have been worried it would lose the vote.
The {http://www.iomtoday.co.im/news/isle-of-man-news/manx-students-might-have-to-pay-tuition-fees-1-5163909|proposal} would mean that most undergraduates would have to pay a minimum of £2,500 a year towards their higher education.
English students have to pay a maximum of £9,000.
