HC Deb 11 February 1991 vol 185 cc318-9W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will make it his policy to provide transitional funding before 1 April 1992 to higher education courses at five Welsh higher education colleges so as to provide for direct funding for those courses threatened with closure in the academic year 1991–92.

Sir Wyn Roberts

[holding answer 8 February 1991]: The local authority higher education institutions will receive their funding from within local authority provision for 1991–92—in the main through the higher education quantum. We have accepted the advice received from the Wales Advisory Body for Local Authority Higher Education on the programmes to be funded from the HE quantum in 1991–92.
