The last I heard from the DfEE was that they were near to getting final clearance from ministers on the guidance and would be forwarding it to HEFCE for printing. They hoped HEFCE would be sending it out the week beginning 19 June. Obviously the timetable has slipped but hopefully we should see something soon. If I can find out anything more definite when I'm in touch with the DfEE next I'll let you know.
