HC Deb 07 March 1991 vol 187 cc231-2W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what discussions he has had with the chairman of the Universities Funding Council about future capital expenditure programmes on academic buildings and student accommodation for the expansion of higher education up to the year 2000.

Mr. Alan Howarth

My right hon. and learned Friend and I meet the chairmen of both funding councils from time to time to discuss a range of higher education issues, including capital funding for teaching and research in higher education. Provision of student accommodation is a matter for institutions.
