HC Deb 25 August 1893 vol 16 cc1101-2
MR. KENYON (Denbigh, &c.)

I beg to ask the Vice President of the Committee of Council on Education whether any representations calling for the inclusion of Lampeter as a constituent College of the Welsh University have been received by the Privy Council or the Government from any persons other than the Professors of the College; and whether any representation has been received from the Visitor of the College?

MR. ACLAND

No such representation has been received by the Privy Council except one from the principal tutors and Professors of Lampeter College. I am not aware that any such representations have been received by the Government. No representation has been received from the Bishop of St. David's, the Visitor of the College.

MR. KENYON

I beg to ask you, Mr. Speaker, whether in that case the notice of Motion for Tuesday next, in the name of the hon. Member for the Oswestry Division of Shropshire, will be in Order?

MR. SPEAKER

I will decide that question when the Motion comes on.

MR. LLOYD GEORGE (Carnarvon, &c.)

May I ask whether the Principal of Lampeter College sat on a committee, which considered the whole matter, and drafted the Charter submitted to the Privy Council, and whether he made any suggestion for the inclusion of Lampeter College?

MR. ACLAND

I understand that the Principal did sit on the committee, but that he did not make any such proposal.
