Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 4 March 2010 on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.


University Funding

Question
Can the Minister give an undertaking that when the Browne committee reports after the election and imposes greater debt on students in order to fund universities, that funding will not be removed from universities in terms of their central Government funding? Can he assure us that universities will at least be better off if students have to pay higher fees through increased debt?
Answer

I know that the hon. Gentleman is an educated man, but I did not realise that he was a fortune teller. I am not going to anticipate the Browne review.
