§ Mr. ShersbyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education for what reasons universities which have increased the admission of science and technology students and reduced arts and social science admissions are now advised by the Higher Education Funding Council for England that they will be subject to a larger than average reduction in funding; what effects this will have on universities which have achieved the targets for the admission of a higher proportion of science and technology students; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BoswellNo such advice has been given. The Higher Education Funding Council for England will publish its approach to funding and student numbers for 1994–95 shortly, including the position of institutions whch have increased science and technology intakes.
