Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:05 pm on 7 March 2017.
I must say—and I’m sure that he’s heard the same thing—that people have told me that they’ve seen examples of young people who have not received an offer to study in Cardiff, but have received an offer to study in England. Now, this is something that concerns me, because if they’re good enough to go to England, then they should be good enough to attend a Welsh university. What I will do—this was being considered recently—is write to the Member on this subject. I’ve heard people telling me this, and I’m sure he heard the same. It is all important that we understand the selection system for students in order to ensure that Welsh students receive fair play.
