HC Deb 07 July 1987 vol 119 c102W
14. Mr. Nigel Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the current financial position of the university of Edinburgh.

Mr. Jackson

The UGC's more rational basis for allocating grants has resulted in Edinburgh university's receiving below average increases in basic grant. It needs to plan carefully for the transition to the new funding levels.
