§ Mr. MossTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will announce the recurrent grants allocated to universities for the academic year 1989–90 by the University Grants Committee.
Mr. JacksonThe University Grants Committee's initial allocation of recurrent grant to universities in the academic year 1989–90 is shown in the table. Responsibility for making the payments will fall to the UGC's successor body, the Universities Funding Council, whose chairman has accepted the announced distribution. Copies of the general letter of guidance that the chairman of the UGC has sent to all universities have been placed in the Library of the House. The general letter will be followed within the next few weeks by a set of institutional annexes providing further details for individual universities. The annexes will also be placed in the Library.
The total grant distributed by the UGC as announced in the table does not include items which it is the UGC's practice to allocate separately, such as local authority rates and the overseas research student awards scheme. These items amount to £140 million. Nor does the distribution include provision which is to be allocated separately in the targeted programme of restructuring for which my right hon. Friend has provided £184 million over four years.
The distribution does not include the £67 million third instalment of additional funding in the financial year 1989–90 towards the cost of the 1987 academic pay restructuring settlement. The release of this funding will be subject to continued satisfactory progress on staff appraisal, probation and promotion arrangements.
