HC Deb 20 August 1895 vol 36 c371
MR. D. BRYNMOR JONES (Swansea District)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it is the intention of the Government to continue the grant of £3,000 per annum to the University of Wales?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Sir MICHAEL HICKS BEACH,) Bristol, W.

A grant of £3,000 was made for the last financial year (1894–95) for preliminary expenses of the University. This, I understand, was found insufficient, and my predecessor undertook that a Grant of the same amount should be made for the current financial year. Provision for this will be made in the Supplementary Estimates, which will shortly be in the hands of hon. Members.
