Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average contribution from the public purse to each Russell Group university is for 2017-18.

This information is not available in the format requested.

The Higher Education Statistics Authority (HESA) is responsible for collecting and publishing official statistics on the sources of income that each university receives. This is collected retrospectively and so the latest year that financial data is available for is 2015/16. Aggregate data for the sector can be viewed here: https://www.hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analysis/publications/finances-2015-16/introduction.

Information for the 2017/18 academic year will be published by HESA in spring 2019.
