1. This consultation seeks comments on proposals to withdraw from 2010-11, possibly phased over a number of years, the following three targeted allocations from recurrent teaching funding:
- old and historic buildings

Key points
2. We propose to withdraw or phase out from 2010-11 three targeted allocations as part of a package of measures to achieve efficiency savings required of higher education by the Government. We seek comments on whether there are compelling counter-arguments to our proposals; and if not on how we should implement the proposals to enable institutions to manage the impact. A summary of consultation questions is at Annex A.
