Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of higher education providers under investigation by the Office for Students relating to breaches of their conditions of registration.

The Office for Students (OfS) is the independent regulator of higher education in England and is an arms-length body. The OfS have confirmed that they have opened over 30 investigations at universities and colleges. Decisions to publish information about their investigation work are a matter for the OfS.
