§ Sir W. DAVISON(by Private Notice) asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any, and if so, what grant from public funds has recently been promised to the University of London; in what circumstances has such grant been promised, and what conditions have been attached to the same?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI promised in June last, on behalf of His Majesty's Government, that we would be prepared within certain financial s to ask Parliament to make provision for improved accommodation of the University, subject to approval by the Treasury of plans to be formulated by the Senate.
§ Sir W. DAVISONWas it not understood that that referred to administrative buildings in South Kensington, and not to the re-purchase of any of the abandoned sites in Bloomsbury?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLNo, it applies to both, and even so, it constitutes a considerable saving to the Exchequer as against the original plan.
