HC Deb 14 March 1968 vol 760 cc1599-600
22. Mr. van Straubenzee

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has yet received the report of the Advisory Panel on Grants; and when he expects to make it public.

Mr. Gordon Walker

Yes, Sir. I expect it to be published early in May.

Mr. van Straubenzee

In view of the anxiety with which these figures are being awaited and the Secretary of State's decision arising out of them, does he feel able at this stage to give at least a preliminary indication about the likely increase?

Mr. Gordon Walker

I think it would be better that the whole of the Report should be available to hon. Members and others. This is the earliest date by which I can get it printed. It will be printed as fast as we can manage, and everybody will know the facts which the Committee has presented to me.
