§ Sir E. Graham-Littleasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can now make a statement as to his intention regarding the forthcoming grant to the universities.
§ Sir J. AndersonYes, Sir. The Government, after considering a report from the University Grants Committee, have decided to maintain the provision for Universities and Colleges in the Estimates for 1944 at its existing level. This provision is, of course, related only to current requirements. The University Grants Committee, which, as my hon. Friend is aware, has just been reconstituted, is now embarking upon an examination of the post-war needs of the Universities.
