§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what estimate he has made of the annual cost of administering his proposed student fees regime. [35574]
§ Dr. HowellsThere will be no extra costs to LEAs in paying the public contribution to tuition fees after income assessment. Our plans for 1998–99 assume that the costs to universities and colleges of collecting private fee contributions (and of any default) will be 5 per cent. of the income collected.
