HC Deb 01 December 1936 vol 318 cc1024-5
53. Mr. HAYDAY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amounts granted by the State to the universities and colleges of Great Britain for the years 1929, 1930, 1931, 1932, 1933, 1934, and 1935, respectively, with the amounts to each university or college, separately, for the years mentioned?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

I assume that the hon. Member has in mind the grants paid from the Vote for Universities and Colleges, Great Britain, on the recommendation of the University Grants Committee. A statement of the grants for the years 1929–30 to 1934–35 will be found in Table 13, page 84, of the Committee's Report for the period 1929–30 to 19,34–35. The recurrent grants for the year 1935–36 were the same as those for the year 1934–35; there were no non-recurrent grants in 1935–36.

Mr. HAYDAY

Can the Financial Secretary give in more precise form the measure of the grants from the Exchequer to these universities and colleges on the lines of the question I have put on the Order Paper?

Lieut.-Colonel COLVILLE

Perhaps the hon. Member will discuss the matter with me. I think the table to which I have referred does, in fact, give the information in detail.
