HC Deb 16 March 1983 vol 39 c169W
Mr. Ernie Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make funds available to the University Grants Committee to enable the financial penalties imposed on those universities which exceeded student numbers set by the University Grants Committee to be lifted.

Mr. Waldegrave

The University Grants Committee's decision involves a redistribution of the funds available for the universities. It does not alter their total.
