§ 45. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Prime Minister when the final Report of Lord Haldane's Commission on University Education in London may be expected; and whether Lord Haldane is still acting as the Government representative on the body of trustees to acquire the Bedford estate site for the headquarters of London University?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot inform the hon. Member when the Commission on University Education in London is likely to present its final Report. I have stated before more than once that no body of trustees to acquire the site referred to or any other site has been appointed.
§ 46. Mr. ROWLANDSasked the Prime Minister whether the proposal made to the Royal Commission on University Education in London by Sir Francis Trippel, and endorsed by them, to acquire a site on the Bedford estate for housing the University of London still has his approval; and whether, in the event of the Foundling Hospital site or the river site being selected for the university buildings, the moneys subscribed for the Bedford estate-site would be available for either of the alternative sites?
§ The PRIME MINISTERNo proposals as to the acquirement of any site have been made to the Royal Commission or have been endorsed by them. I thought the Bedford site a good one when I was informed by Lord Haldane of the possibility of its acquisition, and I still think it a good one. The second part of the question refers to a matter as to which neither I nor the Government have any information.
