HC Deb 01 December 1981 vol 14 c103W
11. Mr. Colin Shepherd

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much public money will be granted to student unions for the year 1981–82.

Mr. Waldegrave

The precise amount will depend upon the expenditure decisions of universities and other institutions. About £22 million, at 1980–81 prices, was included in their resources for the 1981–82 academic year when the present arrangements for financing student unions were introduced.
