Teaching Excellence Framework

Lord Lexden Excerpts

Monday 19th November 2018 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I certainly can. There is a lot of detail to back up what I have said because the tuition fee system, whereby the fee is attached to the student going to university, allows for more people to go to university. I will certainly write to the noble Lord and place a copy of the letter in the Library, with some statistics to back me up.

[Lord Lexden (Con)]

Does the review cover the whole United Kingdom and, if not, are the devolved Governments making their own separate arrangements to hold reviews?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

My noble friend raises a good question. The devolved Administrations undertake their own system, but no doubt they will look at the results of the review—which, as I said earlier, is due to report in summer 2019.
