Higher Education: Research

Question
To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what responses he has received from higher education institutions on his Department's proposed Research Excellence Framework.
Answer

The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has been consulting on their proposals for the Research Excellence Framework (REF) on behalf of the UK's funding bodies. HEFCE have received over 500 responses from a wide range of parties including many from Higher Education Institutions. The consultation closed on 16 December and I look forward to receiving HEFCE's analysis of the responses.
