HC Deb 16 June 1981 vol 6 c338W
35. Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from Scottish universities and other bodies in Scotland regarding Government cuts in higher education expenditure.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. and learned Friend and I have received nearly 200 letters from Scotland regarding the Government's policies on higher education expenditure.

38. Miss Joan Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what method of consultation he intends in relation to the funding and management of public sector higher education.

Dr. Boyson

The Government have yet to finalise their proposals for the future management of public sector higher education. Consultation on any such proposals would principally be by inviting written reactions to a paper describing them.
