HC Deb 11 February 1897 vol 46 cc153-4
*MR. J. G. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he will state how much of the annual grant of £12,000 to Scottish Universities is distributed to each University, and who determines how the money should be allocated to each University?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

The grant of £42,000 is distributed to the Scottish Universities by ordinances of the Commissioners which have all been laid on the Table of this House and are therefore open to the hon. Member to refer to. The proportions of the grant are: St. Andrews (including the University College of Dundee), £6,300; Glasgow, £12,180; Aberdeen, £8,400; Edinburgh, £15,120; making a total of £42,000.
