§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what estimate he has made of the 177W numbers of additional students who may participate in higher education as a consequence of the proposals to increase tuition fees announced in his consultative paper.
Mr. JacksonThe impact of higher fees will be one of the factors to be taken into account in revising student number projections from time to time. It will be for individual institutions to decide how to respond to the incentives to compete for and recruit students which our proposals offer.
