HC Deb 01 April 1913 vol 51 cc204-5
60. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the University of Glasgow has not yet adopted the inclusive fee for the medical course; and whether, in view of the fact that the additional Grant is being paid in full to Glasgow University, he will arrange that it shall also be paid in full to Edinburgh University?

Mr. MASTERMAN

As I have already announced the full Grant will be paid to all the Scottish Universities, subject in the case of Edinburgh to the appointment of a Committee (as has already been done by Glasgow) to consider the establishment of an inclusive fee in medicine.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Is this without any undertaking to establish the inclusive fee?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The Grant is being given for this year. They are being asked to appoint a committee to consider the possibility of establishing an inclusive fee.

Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTT

Does the Treasury withdraw the demand for an inclusive fee for this year?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The full Grant is being paid this year.

Mr. HOGGE

If Edinburgh University does not elect this committee will they get the Grant?

Mr. MASTERMAN

The Grant is conditional on the appointment of the committee next year.
