Clause 23 - Condition that may be requried to be imposed by English funding bodies
Higher Education Bill
10:30 am
Mr Simon Thomas (Chief Whip; Ceredigion, Plaid Cymru)
I found the intervention of the hon. Member for Colne Valley interesting as it referred to what would happen to the funding from the Department for Education and Skills and the Department of Health if, under variable fees, the cost of the provision increased year on year. What does the hon. Gentleman believe will be the Treasury's attitude
to such provision? Will it try to cap the costs and cut the support grants, or will it propose clawback through tuition fees?
