Cheryl Gillan was due to have given a lecture at Aberystwyth University on Thursday
Welsh Secretary Cheryl Gillan has pulled out of a lecture at Aberystwyth University after online reports of protests by students over tuition fees.
A spokesman said the Wales Office had been told police could not guarantee Thursday's protest would be peaceful and policing would mean a "large cost".
Last week the Conservatives' London HQ was attacked after a protest about tuition fees turned violent.
Shadow Welsh Secretary Peter Hain criticised her late withdrawal.
