But the terms of reference suggest his policy input may become more open ended, as it also states he will be asked to develop with the government, particularly the Department for Education and the business department an engagement strategy which will allow young people to input into policy development on access to education.
His appointment will be for six months and he will report to the social mobility task force.
In accepting the post, Hughes did not pretend he could reopen the fundamentals of the tuition fee deal, saying Parliament has settled the maximum university fee level in England from 2012 and we now have a critically important task to ensure that every potential student has access to all the facts about the costs, benefits and opportunities of further and higher education.
I will work with every person of goodwill to ensure that from 2011 we have the best system of educational advice, information and support in place, designed to benefit all potential students and to ensure that disadvantaged young people increasingly gain access to further and higher education.
Hughes risked the wrath of his local Southwark constituency party when he defied its call to vote against the rise in tuition fees, and instead abstained.
Before the vote he had been influential behind the scenes in pressing for a broader access package for disadvantaged children.
