HC Deb 14 May 1964 vol 695 c98W
42. Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what consideration he has now given to the Robbins Committee's recommendation that the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, should be repealed; and what is his decision.

Sir E. Boyle

As I informed the hon. Member on 7th May, the four Scottish Universities concerned are discussing the Universities (Scotland) Act, 1889, but the Government has not yet received an expression of their conclusions. Any decision would therefore be premature.
