HL Deb 10 November 1997 vol 583 c16WA
Lord Roberts of Conwy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether additional funds will be made available for higher education in Wales in line with the increases already announced for England and Scotland.

Lord Williams of Mostyn:

On 5 November my honourable friend Mr. Peter Hain announced that an additional £10 million will be available for higher education in Wales for 1998-99. This new investment will match proportionately the package recently announced for England by my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for Education and Employment.
