HC Deb 20 February 1900 vol 79 c574
*MR. C. P. SCOTT () Lancashire, Leigh

I beg to ask the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education whether, under Section 20 of the proposed Statutes of the University of Birmingham, degrees could be granted to students in affiliated colleges in theology or any other faculty not recognised in the charter.

SIR J. GORST

The hon. Gentleman asks for a legal opinion on the construction of a public document which the Committee of Council are not qualified to give.

MR. C. P. SCOTT

Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman can tell me to whom I should apply for information?

SIR J. GORST

To the Attorney General.

MR. C. P. SCOTT

Then perhaps the Attorney General will answer the question.

MR. SPEAKER

Order, order! The hon. Member must give notice of the question.
