Higher Education Authority: Financial Statements 2019

Dr. Alan Wall:

My answer, my own personal answer to that is "No". I can make inquiries internally to see if any conversations went on that I am not aware of but I do not believe there have been. However, I can certainly find out. We have had only two institutions so far and we are doing two now at the moment. We have only got two through the process so there is not a standard arrangement, if you like, this is a kind of one-off situation where we have a conglomeration of institutions becoming universities. Some of them were done before I got here and some where done while I have been here. I know they get expertise. I am aware who the individuals are but I have no hand, act or part in anything to do with how they are sought out or got.
