answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2020 answer text <p>My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, and I have regular meetings with Welsh ministers, and ministers from all the devolved administrations, about higher education issues. Meetings have included discussions on the development of student number controls policy.</p><p>Officials in the department also have regular meetings and discussions with their counterparts. Following the COVID-19 outbreak, we will continue to work closely with the devolved administrations on strengthening and stabilising the higher education system.</p><p>Student number controls for institutions in the devolved administrations only apply to the number of English-domiciled entrants who will be supported with their tuition fees through the Student Loans Company. The funding of English-domiciled students is not a devolved matter, and it is right and fair that this policy should apply consistently wherever they are studying in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 04/06/2020 15:22:08 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
