§ SIR W. J. COLLINS (St. Pancras, W.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury when the Report of the Permanent Advisory Committee on University College Grants was received by the Treasury, and when it will be published.
(Answered by Mr. Hobhouse.) The Report was received by the Treasury on 25th July last. The Committee's' recommendations affect the Board of Education as well as the Treasury, and are still under consideration by the former Department. It is not proposed to publish the Report until decisions have been arrived at upon the various recommendations contained therein. It is not yet possible to say definitely how soon that will be.
