HC Deb 25 October 1960 vol 627 c2127
8. Mr. Boyden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has considered the memorandum of the Association of University Teachers, entitled "Some problems of university development", a copy of which has been sent to him by the hon. Member for Bishop Auckland; and whether he proposes to encourage the University Grants Committee to develop rapidly new universities planned as a whole.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The question of further university expansion, additional to the £60 million building programme for 1960–63 which is already under way, is being considered. The memorandum referred to will be studied.

Mr. Boyden

Will the Chancellor publish the Report which the University Grants Committee has recently sent him, together with his comments and those of his colleague, the Minister of Education?

Mr. Lloyd

I should like notice of that question.
