Effectively it's a secret?

Surfing the Internet whilst on the way home after delivering a day's training about running effective meetings in Manchester isn't yielding any information about yesterday's HEFCE meeting to decide this year's funding allocations.
Thinking aloud - is this because:

• no decision has been made yet? And if not why not?
• they're waiting to tell the institutions/organisations first? Which means it's not looking good for the support providers.
• or maybe they'd also like some help running effective meetings?

Note: today's staff development hasn't been specifically "Running Effective Meetings in Manchester", it just happens to have been in Manchester as that's where the client's based...
