Topical Questions

Question
Cumbria university, which has one of its largest campuses in the Lancaster part of my constituency, has experienced a number of financial and managerial problems over the past few years. Can the Minister comment on the university's viability, given its new business plan?
Answer

I know that my hon. Friend has been closely involved with that university, as have other hon. Members. The Higher Education Funding Council for England advises me that, with the university's new management arrangements and its new plan, it will have a far better prospect for the future.
