§ Sir Gerard Vaughanasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what level of funding was provided for Reading university by the University Grants Committee between 1978–79 and the last year for which figures are available.
§ Mr. WaldenThe total funding provided by the University Grants Committee to Reading university in the financial years 1978–79 to 1984–85 was as follows. The figures include recurrent, capital and equipment and furniture grant.
The figures are not comparable from year to year because of various changes in funding arrangements most notably adjustments made to reflect changes in the level of the home undergraduate tuition fee; provision for redundancy and restructuring costs and the progressive withdrawal from 1980–81 of the subsidy for overseas students.
