§ Mr. JenkinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what amount each educational institution funded by the Higher Education Funding Council received from(a) the HEFC, (b) the research councils and British Academy and (c) sources other than the pubic sector for the last year figures are available specifying the amount under (d) received from the institutions endowment. [14626]
§ Dr. HowellsInformation on the funding allocated to institutions by the Higher Education Funding Council for England for the academic year 1997–98 is contained in a circular (reference HEFCE Circular 6/97), a copy of which is in the Library. Higher education institutions also receive fees paid via LEAs for students holding mandatory awards.
The latest information on the funding allocated to institutions by the research councils is contained in a number of tables, copies of which have today been placed in the Library. Comparable information on the funding allocated by the British Academy is not available.
We do not collect information on income received by institutions from sources other than public funds. The Further and Higher Education Act 1992 specifically debars Government, through the Higher Education Funding Council for England, form having regard to private income in distributing public funds.
