HC Deb 17 December 1990 vol 183 cc26-7W
Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will provide figures to show expenditure per student across the whole range of taught subject areas at polytechnics(a) in England and (b) in Wales in 1990.

Mr. Alan Howarth

For the financial year 1988–89, the latest year for which data are available, net recurrent expenditure per full-time equivalent student in English polytechnics is estimated at £3,565. Non-university higher education in Wales is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.

Dr. Kim Howells

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will provide figures to show expenditure per student across the whole range of taught subject areas at universities(a) in England, (b) in Scotland and (c) in Wales in 1990.

Mr. Alan Howarth

I refer the hon. Member to the 1990 volume of "University Management Statistics and Performance Indicators", produced by the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals and the Universities Funding Council, a copy of which is in the Library. This draws on 1988–89 data: detailed figures for university expenditure in 1989–90 are not yet available.
