HC Deb 19 March 1981 vol 1 c157W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals about reduced expenditure on higher education; and what reply he has made.

Dr. Boyson

The Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals has written to my right hon. and learned Friend and, subsequently, he and I, together with the chairman and secretary of the University Grants Committee, met representatives of the CVCP on 12 March. The points made by the CVCP will be taken into account in the continuing discussion between the Department and the UGC referred to in the expenditure White Pauer.
