§ MR. ASHLEYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether the colleges participating in the grant of £100,000 to university colleges in 1906 were the same as those participating in the grant of £27,000 in 1904; whether the same colleges will participate in the grant of £100,000 estimated for during the present financial year; and on what principle the grant is allocated.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. RUNCIMAN,) DewsburyThe Answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. A Committee which has been appointed to advise the Treasury as to the distribution of the grant will consider what colleges are to participate in the grant in the present financial year, and on what principle the grant is to be allocated.
