HC Deb 23 March 1948 vol 448 c311W
Mr. Carmichael

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will inquire into the procedure adopted by the four universities in Scotland in considering the applications by qualified persons for entry into university study and, if necessary, take steps to see that educational qualifications are the primary test for entry to a university.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

No. These are matters which are entirely within the discretion of the universities and should, I think, remain so, but I can assure my hon. Friend that educational qualifications are the primary test.
