HC Deb 11 December 1985 vol 88 cc633-5W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) what is the percentage change in the funding of each university by the University Grants Committee between 1980–81 and 1983–84, excluding those amounts representing compensation for changes in home student fees, compensation for redundancy and early retirement, changes to take account of minor capital works from the recurrent grant changes in the level of local authority rates additions made for the information technology and new blood programmes;

(2) what is the percentage change in real terms, measured by the gross domestic product deflator, in the funding of each university by the University Grants Committee between 1980–81 and 1983–84, excluding 1975–76, 1980–81, 1984–85, 1985–86 and planned for 1986–87, expressed in (a) cash terms and (b) 1984–85 prices.

Sir Keith Joseph

The information is as follows:

those amounts representing compensation for changes in home student fees, compensation for redundancy and early retirement, changes to take account of minor capital works from the recurrent grant and changes in the level of local authority rates (a) including and (b) excluding additions made for the information technology and new blood programmes.

Mr. Chris Patten

[pursuant to his reply, 3 December 1985, c. 161]The percentage changes in the funding of each university by the University Grants Committee between 1980–81 and 1983–84 in(a) cash and (b) real terms measured by the gross domestic product deflator, excluding those amounts representing compensation for changes in the level of home student fees, compensation for redundancy and early retirement, provision for capital in recurrent expenditure, local authority rates and additions made for the information technology and new blood programmes are as follows. The percentage changes shown will be in part the consequence of the withdrawal of the overseas student subsidy and to the extent that these losses have been made up by increased fee income will not accurately reflect the changes in the universities financial position.
