Business Secretary Vince Cable is to abandon plans for a graduate tax to fund universities, the BBC has learned.
Party members are to receive an e-mail explaining the decision in a move that will be seen as preparing the ground for a hike in tuition fees.
Lord Browne's review of fees in England is expected to recommend more than doubling fees to around £7,000 a year.
Business Secretary Vince Cable says he is still committed to a "progressive" element within the final fees package.
The Liberal Youth group immediately called on the party's MPs to reject any fee increase.
