§ Sir Trevor SkeetTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science to what extent he proposes to enhance the broad coverage of the Open university's methods of imparting higher education.
§ Mr. Alan HowarthThe university is playing a prominent part in the development of new course delivery methods and technologies, with the support of the block grant it receives from the Department of Education and Science. I have every confidence that it will continue to do so when it is funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
