§ Rev. Ian PaisleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) how much Queen's university, Belfast, received from the Government in access funds.
(2) how much will be received by each student at Queen's university, Belfast, when the access funds are distributed;
(3) what plans the Government have to provide additional funding to supplement the access funds for Queen's university, Belfast.
§ Dr. MawhinneyThe Queen's university of Belfast has, for the academic years 1990–91 and 1991–92, received £168,722 and £169,600 respectively in the form of access funds. These funds are not distributed to each student but 551W are disbursed at the discretion of the university, in response to individual cases of exceptional need. In making the annual allocations to Queen's university the Department of Education for Northern Ireland acts on the recommendation of the Universities Funding Council which is responsible for determining allocations to universities throughout the rest of the United Kingdom.
