HC Deb 24 January 2000 vol 343 cc1-2W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Prime Minister if he will make it his policy to answer questions on the different Government charges and taxes on students at universities throughout the United Kingdom. [105979]

The Prime Minister

Ministers will answer on issues for which they are responsible, in line with the resolutions of the House on 25 October 1999.

Responsibility for the funding of higher education in Scotland and Northern Ireland lies with the relevant devolved executive. Ministers will answer questions which relate to decisions which the devolved executives have taken, only to the extent that these have an impact on the Government's responsibilities.
