Additional places will allow many more people to benefit from higher education. 'The priority for providers must be to offer the best possible experience for students. The Government has made it clear: providers cannot expand at the expense of quality. I am pleased that the Autumn Statement makes a commitment to protect academic standards, the experience of students and the quality of provision.'
