What is your assessment of this policy? We wi…”

“As a former maths teacher, these are things close to my heart. With time so short, I am going to skip to my last question. We have already touched on it. I think Emily mentioned it.

“My question is primarily for Dr Chandler and Rachel, although feel free to come in if you feel you have something to offer on this one. To what extent are universities dependent on international student fees to run their core business? Do you agree with Edward Peck, who is the next chair of the Office for Students, tha…”

“Professor Corner, do you accept that the long-term reduction in funding for research has had a funding implication for higher education institutions in the UK? Given that research funding comes from Government, charities and higher education providers, how can we make this more sustainable in the long term?”

“To our other two witnesses, how do we make funding of research in this country for HE institutions more sustainable?”

“Jo or Alex, do you have any brief thoughts on that second point?”

“As a follow-up to that, the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee described the Government’s visa policy as “an act of national self-harm”. Do you agree with that assessment?”

“I thank the Minister for his statement, and for giving me his time over these past few months to discuss the Morley directly managed branch with him. Over 3,300 people signed my petition to keep Morley post office open, so it is definitely welcome that the post office will be retained. That is caveated by the fact that…”
