Higher Education: Radicalism

Mrs. Iris Robinson: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills what steps he is taking to minimise the influence of extremist Islamic activists in universities. [293660]

Mr. Lammy: There is some evidence of extremist or radical groups or individuals operating on a handful of campuses. Where the problem occurs it is very serious but it is not widespread. As part of HMG's Prevent strategy, there are a range of activities taking place within universities to help them manage the risk of violent extremism or radicalisation taking place within their institutions.

1. In January 2008, the former Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills issued guidance to all universities in England setting out practical advice and guidance on how to increase cohesion on campus and manage the risk of violent extremism.

2. This guidance is now being followed up with targeted support from BIS officials and police colleagues to some universities which fall within Prevent funded local authority areas.

3. BIS are also funding a full time inter-faith and Prevent officer at the NUS to work specifically to raise awareness and undertake training of NUS staff and officers.

4. Funding is being given to the Association of Muslim Chaplains in Higher Education through the CLG Community Leadership Fund to help them increase their capacity to support Muslim Chaplains working in HE and enable to them to deliver more effective pastoral support for Muslim students.

Higher Education: Student Numbers

Jim Cousins: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills how many (a) UK and (b) overseas students there were at each university in (i) 2004-05, (ii) 2007-08 and (iii) 2008-09. [293184]

Mr. Lammy: The numbers of UK and overseas students enrolled at UK higher education institutions in 2004-05 and 2007-08 are given in Table 1 and Table 2. Enrolment numbers for 2004-05 and 2007-08 may not be directly comparable due to institutions changing their names and/or merging.
