§ Mr. Sydney Irvingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he anticipates he will receive a report from the University Grants Committee giving recommendations for new universities.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydOn the advice of the University Grants Committee, my predecessor agreed in April, 1960, to support the establishment of new university institutions at Norwich and York. I expect to make a statement at an early date about provision for university expansion over and above that under the £60 million building programme for 1960 to 1963 already authorised. Shortly thereafter the University Grants Committee will be advising me on whether some part of the new building programme should be devoted to assisting the foundation of new university institutions in addition to those at Norwich and York.
