HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 c2385
74. Mr. GILBERT

asked when the Departmental Committee appointed in September, 1913, to report as to the steps by which effect shall be given to the scheme of the Report of the Haldane Commission on University Education in London, and to recommend the specific arrangements and provisions which may be immediately adopted for that purpose, is likely to present its Report?

Mr. FISHER

The work of the Committee was suspended during the War, and it has not yet been resumed. The whole question of the reconstitution of the University is at present receiving my consideration.

Sir P. MAGNUS

Has a proposal been made, or is it in contemplation, to remove the central offices from South Kensington, and, if so, will the right hon. Gentleman take care that these proposals are submitted for the consideration of the Senate before the arrangement is concluded?

Mr. FISHER

Yes. I think that any proposals that are to be made will be submitted for the consideration by the Senate.
