To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to meet the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals to discuss the arrangements for the introduction of the community charge; and if he will make a statement.

No. The arrangements for the introduction of the community charge are the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. I understand that officials of his Department will be meeting representatives of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals in the near future.
