HC Deb 16 December 1992 vol 216 c265W
Mr. Beith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what has been the cost to public funds of the higher education research assessment exercise.

Mr. Boswell

The Universities Funding Council has asked participating universities and colleges for estimates of the costs incurred in the 1992 research assessment exercise, which has only just been completed and is due to be published very shortly. Information on the total costs of the exercise is likely to be available early next year.
