Hugh Bayley – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Hugh Bayley on 2014-06-04.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much funding for each (a) undergraduate and (b) postgraduate student the Higher Education Funding Council for England allocated to (i) the University of York and (ii) York St John University in (A) cash and (B) at current prices in each year since 1997-98.

Mr David Willetts

The attached tables show the amount of grant distributed by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for teaching and research per full-time equivalent student for each of the years requested. There have been changes in HEFCE’s funding methodology over this period, so these tables do not provide like for like yearly comparisons. In particular, the data prior to 1998-99 are not available in a similar format to that for later years.
