HC Deb 15 January 1990 vol 165 c5W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received concerning the way colleges and universities respond to requests from a community charges registration officer concerning students; whether he will allocate additional grants so that these institutions need only disclose information about students resident in a particular charging authority area; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

Apart from the question asked by the hon. Member on 26 October 1989 (Official Report, col. 536), my right hon. Friend has received no representations concerning the way colleges and universities respond to requests from community charges registration officers (CCROs) about students. As I said in reply to the earlier question, the information needs of CCROs are a matter for my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for the Environment.
