§ MR. HOGANI beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether a scheme for the utilisation of a portion of the Imperial Institute buildings for the purposes of a new Imperial University has been brought under his notice; and whether the scheme will be submitted for the approval of the Colonial Governments concerned before definite action is taken?
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIESI believe that a Conference of representatives of the Government on the Imperial Institute and 872 the London University will shortly take place to consider whether a part of the Institute buildings can, with due regard to all existing interests, be made available for the accommodation of the London University, as reconstituted by the Act of last Session. Until the result of the deliberation of the Conference is known, it would be premature to consider what, if any, further steps should be taken in the matter.
