HC Deb 22 July 1926 vol 198 c1421
58. Mr. SMITH

asked the Secretary of State for War when he expects to establish a tank or armoured-car unit at Cambridge University?

Captain KING

I am unable to say when it will be possible to proceed with the formation of a tank or armoured-car unit at Cambridge University, which is held up for financial reasons.

Mr. SMITH

Can we be told whether, when military developments are undertaken by a university, the War Office has any right to make appointments to the staff of the university, and whether it does exercise any such action?

Captain KING

I do not think that arises.
