answer text <p>My answer on 11 February 2019 was based on an observation of Labour’s Higher Education Proposals published by the Institute for Fiscal studies (IFS) in 2017. The observation can be found at: <a href="https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/9217" target="_blank">https://www.ifs.org.uk/publications/9217</a>.</p><p> </p><p>My statement, that to return to a stage where universities are financed entirely by taxation would increase the burden on the taxpayer by £12 billion, is based on IFS modelling that shows that the total long run contribution of the government to remove tuition fees would be £12.5 billion, rounded down to the nearest billion. Of that £12.5 billion, the IFS estimate that around £11.6 billion would be in the form of teaching grants.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government believes that animals should only be used when there is no practicable alternative and it actively supports and funds the development and dissemination of techniques that replace, reduce and refine the use of animals in research (the 3Rs), in particular through funding for the National Centre for the 3Rs, and also through ongoing UK-led efforts to encourage greater global uptake of the 3Rs. Advances in biomedical science and technologies – including stem cell research, in vitro systems that mimic the function of human organs, imaging and new computer modelling techniques – are all providing new opportunities to reduce reliance on the use of animals in research.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Mental health is a priority for this government, which is why the government is working closely with Universities UK on embedding the Step Change programme within the sector. Step Change calls on higher education leaders to adopt mental health as a strategic priority. Step Change also advocates a whole-institution approach to transform cultures and embed mental health initiatives beyond student services teams.</p><p>The former Higher Education Funding Council for England's Catalyst Fund also provided £1.5 million for 17 projects to improve the mental health of postgraduate research students. The Office for Students (OfS) is working with Research England to deliver this scheme.</p><p>This investment and the ongoing work of the OfS will support a range of activities. It will develop new practice for the pastoral support of postgraduate research students, and enhance training for their supervisors and other staff. Postgraduate research has different expectations and working practices to undergraduate work, so it will also help students adjust to the change.</p>

answer text <p>Provisional data for 2017/18 provided by the Student Loans Company (SLC) shows that 1,600 part-time undergraduate English domiciled students have so far been paid Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSA) for equipment, a 23% increase on the number paid at the same point in the academic year 2016/17 (1,300).</p><p>Data provided by the SLC shows that, in the academic year 2016/17, 1,500 part-time undergraduate English domiciled students were paid DSA for equipment. This compares to 1,700 in the academic years 2015/16 and 2014/15.</p><p>For full-time students only, DSA provisional uptake and expenditure data for 2017/18 show an increase in the number of students benefitting from the equipment allowance to 21,800, compared to 18,700 at the same point in the previous year. The overall expenditure has also risen, to £21.5 million in 2017/18 compared to £14.4 million at the same point the previous year: an increase of almost 50%. This means that the average expenditure per student over those two years has risen to £986 in 2017/18 from £770 at the same point in 2016/17.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>​​Through the sale, the government has exchanged a stream of uncertain future cash flows spread over thirty years for a certain lump sum now. When assessing whether or not to sell the loans, the government therefore has to determine today’s value of those future cash flows to be able to compare it against the price being offered by the market. To make this assessment, the government forecasts the repayments and then takes into account: the time value of money, the effect of inflation, the riskiness of the asset, and the opportunity cost of having money tied up in that asset that could otherwise be used for purposes or policies with greater social or economic returns. This follows the guidance set out in Her Majesty’s Treasury’s (HM Treasury) Green Book:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/191488/Green_book_supplementary_guidance_asset_valuation.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/191488/Green_book_supplementary_guidance_asset_valuation.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p>​In accordance with this assessment, the government has concluded that the sale achieved value for money in accordance with HM Treasury’s Green Book guidance.</p>
