Higher Education: Financial Sustainability

Lord Sentamu Excerpts

Monday 15th December 2014 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, I always take comfort in everything that my noble friend says.

[The Archbishop of York]

My Lords, will the noble Baroness tell us how, in the light of this report, she hopes to mitigate the risks to financial sustainability? Those are very big risks. Can she tell us how she will mitigate them? Forget the canoes.

[Baroness Williams of Trafford]

My Lords, the Government have asked HEFCE to monitor this situation, particularly in the light of the cap being lifted in 2016. That is a very important point.
