§ 16. Mr. Mulleyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education if he will now appoint a working party to review the system and amounts of university grants; and if he will make a statement.
§ Sir E. BoyleMy noble Friend is aware of recent suggestions to this effect, but he cannot yet make a statement. The triennial review of the amounts of university awards will be held this autumn, and any changes will be made in 1958.
§ Mr. MulleyDoes not the hon. Gentleman recollect that his predecessor said that this matter was under active consideration last November? Will he give further attention to it, because if a committee is to be set up to report in time for these changes, it will have to begin its deliberations very soon?
§ Sir E. BoyleI am aware of the very widespread interest in this matter, and I am sorry that I cannot say any more today.
