Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the answer of 7 September 2026 to Question 20998, whether (a) her Department and (b) the Office for Students holds information on whether universities are making decisions on university admissions based on TUNDRA geo-data.

Neither the department nor the Office for Students holds data on individual students’ admissions decisions. Higher education providers are autonomous and responsible for their own admissions decisions, including whether and how they use contextual admissions data. Area-based indicators are one measure that providers may consider in making contextual admissions decisions.
