§ MR. VERNON HARCOURTsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Solicitor General, Whether a Charter has been granted by the Crown incorporating a new College in the University of Oxford called Keble College; if so, whether by such incorporation the Keble College will come within the operation of the Bill now depending for the repeal of Religious 1942 Tests in the Universities; and, whether there will be any objection to lay a Copy of such Charter upon the Table of the House?
THE SOLICTTOR GENERALsaid, in reply, that it would be seen that the Question of the hon. and learned Member was three-fold. In answer to the first and the last part of the Question, he begged to state that he had every reason to believe that it was true that a charter had been granted to Keble College, and he saw no objection whatever to laying that charter upon the Table of the House. It was at present, however, accessible to all who were desirous of ascertaining its contents. He had some difficulty in replying to the second part of the Question; but his impression was that, as Keble College was now a College having a charter, it would be a subsisting College within the meaning of the Bill.
