Liberal Democrat — Mid Dorset and North Poole

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2025

Debate

Contribution

Most were arts and humanities courses, including English, photography, sociology and politics. What options exist for universities to access other sources of funding, and what assessment is being done to protect arts and humanities courses across our higher education sector?
