§ Mr. MorganTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what is his most up-to-date estimate of the amount spent per head per full-time equivalent student in public sector Scottish higher education colleges in(a) this financial year and (b) next financial year.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythI estimate that £4,150 of Government funding per full-time equivalent student was provided to the Scottish grant-aided colleges of higher education in 1990–91, including recurrent grant-in-aid and tuition fees paid through the student awards system but excluding grants for capital expenditure and maintenance awards. The figure for 1991–92 is not available since grant-in-aid funding for that year has not yet been announced.
