HC Deb 12 March 1963 vol 673 c126W
51. Mr. Small

asked the Parliamentary Secretary of Science what proposals he has for the establishment of an institute for theoretical astronomy; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

My noble Friend agrees with the recently published Annual Report of the Advisory Council on Scientific Policy (Cmnd. 1920) commending the proposal that an Institute for Theoretical Astronomy should be established at the University of Sussex. I understand that the university authorities at present have this proposal under consideration.
