§ 71. Mr. WALTER GUINNESSasked whether the Advisory Committee on University Grants consider matters of internal economy connected with universities in receipt of public money; and, if so, whether they have made any report as to the advertisement and allocation of contracts by Bristol University?
§ Mr. J. A. PEASEThe Committee take into account for the purpose of the allocation of grants the whole educational work of the universities, but their functions are advisory and not supervisory, and it is undesirable that the Board should attempt, through their Advisory Committee, to intervene in matters referred to in the last part of the question.
