HC Deb 09 February 2004 vol 417 cc1376-95W
Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much money in his Department's allocation for support for further and higher education is held in ring-fenced budgets for specific initiatives. [152658]

Alan Johnson

The Department allocates funds for education and training in the post-16 learning and skills sector to the Learning and Skills Council (LSC). Assumed funding for further education in 2003–04, excluding learner support funds, is £4.7 billion. This includes funding of £187 million for special initiatives to improve quality and delivery and £216 million earmarked for capital investment.

The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) allocates funds to higher education institutions. For the 2003–04 academic year, HEFCE are allocating total funds of around £5.5 billion, of which £451 million relates to 'special funding' which supports initiatives that are not funded through their recurrent funding methodology, such as the Arts and Humanities Research Board and the Higher Education Innovation Fund; and £364 million is for earmarked capital funding.

In November 2002 we announced the consolidation of a number of further and higher education funding streams into core funding. In further education we consolidated the funding of pay and staff qualification initiatives into core funding and in higher education we mainstreamed four ring fenced funds 'Golden Hellos', the Promising Researcher Fellowship Scheme, Additional Capital for leading research institutions and Knowledge Exchanges into larger funding allocations. We continue to monitor the number of special funding allocations to ensure that they are appropriately targeted and that demands on institutions are proportionate to the sums involved.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what proportion of his Department's budget for further and higher education is allocated to grants for higher and further education institutions. [152659]

Alan Johnson

Around 92 per cent. of assumed total spending by the Department on further education in England in 2003–04 goes to institutions, the remainder being spent on student support quality assurance and development in FE. Around 77 per cent. of the total spending by the Department on higher education in England in 2003–04 goes to institutions, the remainder being spent on student support and other small programmes.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will list the organisations operating in the field of(a) further and (b) higher education, apart from individual higher education institutions, which receive funding from his Department. [152693]

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) if he will list the departments which receive higher education research grant funding in(a) dance, (b) drama, (c) performing arts and (d) sports-related studies; [152626]

(2)if he will list the research ratings under the two most recent research assessment exercises of each higher education institution and department in the UK; [152627]

(3)how many higher education institutions will receive more than £1 million in research grant from Government in 2003–04; [152636]

(4)what his policy is on the provision of research funding to departments rated 4 after the next research assessment exercise; [152638]

(5)whether it is his policy that some universities should cease to carry out research. [152687]

Details of the research ratings awarded in the two most recent Research Assessment Exercises (RAE) are set out in the documents '2001 Research Assessment Exercise: The Outcome' and '1996 Research Assessment Exercise: The Outcome', published by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Copies are available in the House of Commons Library.

72 HEIs will receive more than £1 million in research grant from the HEFCE in 2003–04.

The UK higher education funding bodies carried out a joint consultation last year on the review of research assessment undertaken by Sir Gareth Roberts. Following detailed consideration of the responses to the consultation exercise, an announcement on the way forward is expected from HEFCE and the other funding bodies shortly.

The Government are committed to supporting and encouraging the highest quality research within available resources to ensure that we continue to compete internationally. High quality research departments are located in a wide spread of institutions and it is not the Government's policy to prevent any departments or institutions from conducting research. Institutions, as independent, autonomous bodies, must consider their strengths and decide the best focus for their academic direction and institutional mission.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the remits are of(a) the Higher Education Funding Council for England and (b) the proposed Arts and Humanities Research Council in the future support of arts and humanities research. [152628]

Alan Johnson

The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) allocates Quality Related (QR) funding for research to Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in England selectively, having regard to assessments of research quality in all academic disciplines. This funding is paid to HEIs as part of a block grant. Within the dual support system, it is intended to support the physical infrastructure for research and the costs of permanent research staff time including time devoted to curiosity-driven research in line with the institution's mission and priorities. It therefore complements funding the institution receives in the form of grant from Research Councils.

The responsibilities of the Arts and Humanities Research Council will be to carry out, facilitate, encourage and support research and postgraduate training in the arts and humanities. Its responsibilities will parallel those of the existing Scientific Research Councils in supporting specific research projects and postgraduate programmes of work in higher education institutions and related bodies in all parts of the United Kingdom.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether it is his policy that Government funding for increases in the number of students in higher education should be directed at the provision of foundation degree places rather than full honours degrees. [153067]

Alan Johnson

As set out in the White Paper "The Future of Higher Education" and the January 2003 grant letter to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) we are committed to the expansion of Foundation Degrees while recognising existing commitments to growth in honours degree provision.

Chris Grayling

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if he will make a statement on incentives provided to higher education institutions for collaboration between departments or institutions. [152637]

Alan Johnson

The principal mechanism for encouraging greater collaboration between higher education departments and institutions is the Strategic Development Fund, operated by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). The fund supports various forms of collaboration including, for example, institutional mergers, strategic alliances and incentives for developing innovative research programmes.
