§ 100 Sir WILLIAM DAVISONasked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will consider the possibility of securing accommodation elsewhere for the Indian and Colonial sections now occupying a portion of the Imperial Institute building, so that the whole of that building may be made use of as an Imperial University for London, which would closely adjoin the Imperial College of Science and Technology, the School of Mines, the Royal College of Art, the Natural History Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum?
§ Lieut.-Colonel AMERYI appreciate the advantage, from the point of view of the University, of my hon. Friend's suggestion, but I very much doubt its feasibility, from the point of view of the Imperial Institute.
§ Sir W. DAVISONHas the hon. and gallant Gentleman had any regard to the number of young men from the Colonies and India who come to the University of London, and does he not think that it would be a very popular use to be made of that building? Should it not be an Imperial University in London for these young men who attend, rather than be used simply for exhibitions which very few people attend?
§ Lieut.-Colonel AMERYI think a very considerable number of people do attend the exhibitions, and make use of the place for research work, but I will consider the advantage from the point of view of the students, and the suggestion of my hon. Friend will be taken into account.
