HC Deb 27 February 1946 vol 419 c405W
Mr. Cobb

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what sum has been allocated by the Government to the University Grants Committee on account of new university buildings and equipment, including libraries, and also re-equipment and enlargement to cover the first five post-war years.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

The sum which Parliament is to be asked to vote for grants to Universities in 1946 will include£2,500,000 for capital grants. It is not possible at this stage to foresee requirements for subsequent years, but my right hon. Friend has stated that he will be prepared, if good cause is shown, to ask Parliament to vote even larger capital sums.
