Clause 22 - Power of Secretary of State to impose condition as to student fees, etc.
Higher Education Bill
Public Bill Committees, 24 February 2004, 9:10 am
Mr Chris Grayling (Epsom & Ewell, Conservative)
In the last sitting before the break, we debated the potential for penalties to be levied through the research funding stream as well as the teaching funding stream. Will the Minister clarify the situation surrounding the Government's intention to provide research funding through regional development agencies? In theory at least, if universities receive such funding, the measures in the clause could be applied to that funding.
