To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what public resources are made available to Thames polytechnic.

The Polytechnics and Colleges Funding Council—PCFC—has made the following public funds available to Thames polytechnic for the financial year 1991–92:

	£
Main allocation	19,307,579
Equipment	1,933,332
Hunter capital	541,700
Minor works	424,000
Research	250,000
Total	22,456,611

In addition the polytechnic's publicly funded tuition fee from funded places is expected to be £11,944,000. Total public funds available to the polytechnic are therefore £34,400,611. Institutions are free to recruit additional students who do not attract PCFC grant but who bring with them the publicly funded tuition fee, averaging £2,200 in the PCFC sector in 1991–92.
