HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 c107W
31. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will calculate the net loss of income in 1981–82 to universities as a result of the increase in fees to overseas students.

Mr. Waldegrave

The net loss of income to universities in 1981–82 as a result of the withdrawal of the subsidy for overseas students and the consequent increase in fees will depend upon how many such students have been accepted at universities this year. This information is not yet available.
