Business, Innovation and Skills written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills what information (a) Ministers and (b) officials of his Department have sought on the for-profit higher education system in (i) the US and (ii) Europe.
The Government have taken account of a range of publications addressing alternative models of higher education provision. A further key way we gather such information is through meeting regularly with providers of higher education, including for-profit institutions, both in the UK and internationally. A quarterly-updated list of all BIS Ministerial meetings with external organisations is available at:

BIS officials will also have had meetings with a range of higher education providers, but a comprehensive record of these is not maintained.
