§ Sir Keith JosephThe information is as follows:
those amounts representing compensation for changes in home student fees, compensation for redundancy and early retirement, changes to take account of minor capital works from the recurrent grant and changes in the level of local authority rates (a) including and (b) excluding additions made for the information technology and new blood programmes.
§ Mr. Chris Patten[pursuant to his reply, 3 December 1985, c. 161]The percentage changes in the funding of each university by the University Grants Committee between 1980–81 and 1983–84 in(a) cash and (b) real terms measured by the gross domestic product deflator, excluding those amounts representing compensation for changes in the level of home student fees, compensation for redundancy and early retirement, provision for capital in recurrent expenditure, local authority rates and 635W additions made for the information technology and new blood programmes are as follows. The percentage changes shown will be in part the consequence of the withdrawal of the overseas student subsidy and to the extent that these losses have been made up by increased fee income will not accurately reflect the changes in the universities financial position.
