Higher Education Funding I will declare an interest, as I am a member of the court of the University of Strathclyde.To ask the First Minister whether the Scottish Executive considers that higher education is being adequately funded on the basis of the levels of funding outlined to institutions by the Scottish Higher Education Funding Council in its circular letter of 23 March 2000. (S1F-249) I recognise Annabel Goldie's efforts in this field.We have made provision to increase higher education funding by more than £250 million in the current comprehensive spending review period.
