HC Deb 02 July 1964 vol 697 c259W
20. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will now give an assurance that the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, whether continued as at present or amended, will also be applied to the University of Strathclyde and any proposed new universities.

Mr. Hogg

No. I am not in a position to anticipate any legislation in relation to this Act.

21. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware that the Association of University Teachers (Scotland), with a membership of 1,600, have not yet been consulted by the Scottish universities' representatives who are submitting constitutional proposals in respect of the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889; and, in view of this lack of co-operation, if he will give an assurance that the association's own proposals on this matter will be considered by him.

Mr. Hogg

The Government have as yet received no formal proposals from the Scottish Universities in respect of the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889. When they do, expressions of opinion from all interested quarters will be taken into account.
