Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:46 pm on 14 June 2017.

Cabinet Secretary, on Friday, the day after the general election, there was a piece of news that suggested that your Government is cutting £28 million-worth of funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, which is obviously going to have a significant impact on Welsh universities. Why did you decide to bury bad news on that day, and how can you defend those cuts?
