HC Deb 20 May 1996 vol 278 cc65-6W
Mr. Win Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the recipients of funding for education and training purposes from the European Union in each of the last three years, giving the programme under which the funding was provided. [29303]

Mr. Hague

The expenditure on higher education in Wales for the years 1993–94, 1994–95, 1995–96 and the provision for 1996–97 is shown in the following table. The amounts include tuition fee income and adjustments relating to dual support provision for research. Prior to 1993–94, higher education was funded from a variety of sources, including the University Grants Committee, the University Funding Council, the Welsh Office and local authorities, and it is not possible to provide comparable expenditure figures for that period.

Mr. Richards

The information requested is not held centrally.
