The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what the cost of introducing the new system of student tuition fees was, what the additional annual cost of the administration and collection of tuition fees is and what amount of tuition fees due in academic year 1998-99 remain uncollected.
The answer
This information is not collected centrally. Institutions already had in place arrangements for administration and collection of tuition fees from students. The extent to which additional costs are incurred as a result of the introduction of private contributions to tuition fees for new entrants will vary from institution to institution.
