Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what proposals he has to increase his 1997–98 allocation of funds to higher education. [13774]

Mr. Hain

[holding answer 3 November 1997]: I was pleased to announce on 5 November that in 1998–99 an additional £10 million will be available for higher education in Wales. This new investment will match proportionately the package announced for England recently by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Employment.
