Question
Will the Welsh Government present a new pay offer to university staff to ensure the marking boycott comes to an end and does not affect students starting university this autumn?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language
The Welsh Government is not responsible for university pay. As higher education institutions are autonomous bodies, responsibility for financial and employment matters, including pay and pensions, lies with the institutions and not the Welsh Government.
