HC Deb 07 August 1879 vol 249 cc394-5
MR. LYON PLAYFAIR

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Depart- ment, Whether he has yet considered the Report of the Royal Commission on the Scottish Universities; and, whether he proposes to bring in a Bill next Session to carry out their recommendations?

MR. ASSHETON CROSS

Yes, Sir, this question has undergone careful consideration. Her Majesty's Government cannot pledge themselves to bring in a Bill next Session, and all I can say is this, that the subject will not be lost sight of.
