HC Deb 10 July 1890 vol 346 cc1302-3
MR.G.OSBORNE MORGAN (Denbighshire)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether the proposed Scheme for the establishment of a Teaching University for London will be laid upon the Table of the House before it is finally confirmed; and whether, before such confirmation, an opportunity will be-afforded to the University Colleges in the provinces of expressing their views on the provisions of that Scheme?

MR. JACKSON

Under the College Charter Act, 1871, a copy of every Draft Charter for the foundation of any College or University must be laid before both Houses of Parliament for 30 days before it is submitted to Her Majesty for approval. Every opportunity will be given to the provincial colleges for expressing their views on the subject. The Scheme has not been as yet submitted to the Privy Council Office.
