HC Deb 08 July 2002 vol 388 cc726-7W
Hugh Bayley

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the expenditure was on(a) research and (b) teaching in each United Kingdom medical school in the latest year for which figures are available. [67148]

Margaret Hodge

Expenditure by higher education institutions, broken down by research and teaching, is not available centrally.

With the exception of St. George's medical school, medical schools in England form part of their parent university and are funded through the block grant provided by the relevant funding councils for England and the devolved administrations. Once the grant has been allocated, it is for each institution to decide how to spend it.
