Answer
On 4 December 2014, my Department published a consultation on the draft spending proposals for 2015-16 in response to the Executive’s draft Budget.
The consultation outlined the possible impact on a wide range of functions and services across my Department as well as the potential impact on the universities and colleges including a likely reduction in student places and staff numbers.
My Department received 184 responses to the consultation.
