HC Deb 17 November 1992 vol 214 cc169-70W
23. Mr. Enright

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will make a statement about the funding available in the next financial year to finance special needs education in higher education.

Mr. Forman

The total funding for higher education in England next year was announced by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 12 November. It is for the Higher Education Funding Council to decide how to distribute its total grant between institutions, taking account of the interests of those with special needs and other factors.
