Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Janet Daby and Claire Hughes

Monday 28th April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Claire Hughes (Bangor Aberconwy) (Lab)]

Welsh universities, including Bangor University, face very real challenges as a direct result of policies introduced by the last UK Government. Will the Minister update us on conversations that her Department is having with the Welsh Government around higher education in Wales?

[Janet Daby]

My hon. Friend is aware that education is devolved and that the Welsh Government are responsible for education policies in Wales, including those covering universities, but I assure her that the Department for Education engages with the devolved Government at ministerial and official levels on a range of areas covering education and students.
