Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what assessment he has made of the contribution of UK university satellite campuses in London to the economy.

The economic impact of universities on local areas was estimated in a report by Universities UK published in 2014 entitled “The economic impact of higher education institutions in England”. Information is not disaggregated for specific providers or campuses, although several universities have undertaken individual studies of their impact on their local area.

The report can be viewed at the following link:
