§ Mrs. FyfeTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the percentage increase or decrease in real terms for spending per capita on students(a) at universities and 229W (b) in further and adult education from 1982–83 to 1992–93.
§ Lord James Douglas-Hamilton[holding answer 3 February 1995]: Per capita spending—Universities Grants Committee and Universities Funding Council grants for teaching and research, and from tuition fees—for students on full-time courses who were charged fees at the home rate decreased by 27 per cent. in real terms between 1982–83 and 1992–93 in the then eight universities in Scotland. Over this period, the number of students in these universities increased by 42 per cent. The estimate of spending does not include spending by the research councils, funding provided for maintenance and loans, or fees paid by part-time and overseas students and does not take account of changes in funding arrangements, such as the transfer of research funds
