We were pleased to hear the Chancellor speak of how important universities are to the UK economy, and agree with him that work needs to be done to keep pace with international competitors. To this end we welcome the commitment to maintain science investment in cash terms, but await detail of how funds will be allocated and hope that arts and humanities do not suffer as a result.

We are concerned however that the 40% reduction in Higher Education investment will counter efforts to better resource the sector and improve support for disadvantaged students.
