73W

§ Dr. Howells
Under the Funding and Higher Education Act 1992, the Department pays grant to the Higher Education Funding Council for England, which in turn distributes it to universities and colleges. The Act prohibits the Government from intervening in the allocation of grant to individual institutions.
The Funding Council announced the funding allocations for the academic year 1997–98 in February 1997. A copy of the Circular has been placed in the Library.
