§ MR. AGNEW (for Mr. SLAGG)asked the Vice President of the Council, Whether it is intended
To place the Victoria University, Manchester, without delay, on the same footing as the older Universities with regard to the granting of medical degrees,in accordance with the recommendation of the Royal Commissioners on the Medical Acts?
§ MR. MUNDELLASir, I understand that an application is about to be made to Her Majesty in Council for a Supplemental Charter to enable the Victoria University to grant medical degrees, and that the initiatory steps will be taken at the usual meeting of the Court 1137 of Governors in November next. When the Petition is received, it will be submitted to the Queen at the next ensuing Council. I may add that the grant of such a Charter would not be inconsistent with the recent Report of the Royal Commission.
