HC Deb 04 December 2003 vol 415 c184W
15.Mr. Joyce

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans he has for university student bursaries; and if he will make a statement.[141771]

Alan Johnson

We have made it clear that universities will need to offer bursaries and other forms of financial support in their access agreement if they want to charge a fee above the standard level. We are considering and discussing the precise contents of access agreements and the duties of the Office for Fair Access and will make a statement in due course.
