| | Battle for bursaries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) |
 | | Questions were asked in the House of Lords and coverage followed in The Guardian news and education sections, the Times Higher Education Supplement, Radio Five Live, Radio Leeds, BBC television's Look North programme, and the Bradford Telegraph and Argus among others. |
 | | Led by Bradford West MP Max Madden, a cross-party group of local Mps, representatives from the universities of Bath, Westminster and Kent, where bursaries were also under threat, were accompanied to meet Tim Boswell by Bradford's course tutor Brian Griffiths. |
 | | Afterwards Brian Griffiths said: "Tim Boswell listened very courteously as we told him that the European institutions were dismayed by the prospect of losing their primary source of interpreters, that all the evidence showed that demand was growing, and that we should be expanding rather than cutting this training,." |
