HC Deb 18 June 1888 vol 327 cc430-1
*SIR JOHN LUBBOCK (London University)

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can yet state the intentions of Government as to affording any assistance to the English University Colleges?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)

This Question would have been more properly addressed to my right hon. Friend the Vice President of the Council. I may say, however, that I believe that the Lord President and the Vice President received a deputation on this subject, and have since been in communication with the various Colleges, in order to ascertain all the material facts of their position. The information asked for is not yet, in all cases, complete.
