HC Deb 18 July 2000 vol 354 c129W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what response he has sent to the Greenaway report on Higher Education Funding. [130565]

Mr. Wicks

The Greenaway Report was commissioned by the Russell Group of Universities, not the Government. I understand that it has been passed to the Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals, to form part of their wider inquiry into university funding. The Government are opposed to "top-up" tuition fees and have legislated to prevent universities from levying such charges.
