HC Deb 19 May 1879 vol 246 c698
MR. COURTNEY

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If, in view of the possibility of the advisers of the Crown recommending an exercise of the prerogative in the issue of a charter of a new University in the North of England, he will arrange that an opportunity shall be previously given to this House of expressing an opinion thereon?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

, in reply, said, that he feared he could not make opportunities for the discussion by the House of the scheme for the proposed new University; but the hon. Member would have it in his power, if he thought right, to move an Address to the Crown on the subject.
