60. Mr. Rostron Duckworthasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education what are the conditions under which the sum of £200,000 has recently been granted to the universities by the National Fitness Council?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education (Mr. Kenneth Lindsay)The grants offered to university institutions by the University Grants Committee, on behalf of the National Fitness Council, are grants in aid, the institution meeting the remainder of the capital charges as well as the charges of future maintenance involved by each scheme. Three considerations throughout have been the provision of skilled instruction by properly qualified staff; the provision of such arrangements for medical inspection as may be appropriate; and the desirability of the appointment at each institution of a University committee (with student representation) composed of those particularly interested.
