§ Mr. Andrew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received from the British Medical Association on the impact on medical education of underfunding of universities; and how he has responded.
§ Mr. Alan HowarthTwo letters about university funding and other matters have been received recently from the medical academic staff committee of the BMA. In reply, we have made clear that it is for individual universities to determine the funding of medical schools within the aggregate resources at their disposal, including the planned increase in available public funding in 1991–92 of some 10 per cent. for the second year running.
