3. Urgent Question: Part-time Postgraduate Study (24 May 2016)

Angela Burns: I’d like to thank the education Secretary for that and welcome her to her role. The loss of support for part-time postgraduate study means that some Welsh universities will face significant percentage cuts in their total HEFCW funding.
