"He" is Leighton Andrews, the Welsh Assembly's education minister. He is effectively telling the institutions themselves that they will have to spend less on teaching.
As regards who gets 'more' and who gets 'less' in the UK, why whinge about Wales and Scotland getting more than England when different regions within England get more or less than each other? Or do the differences in spending levels between, say, Birmingham and Newcastle not matter, because they're both in England?
