HC Deb 14 June 1965 vol 714 cc35-6W
Mr. Park

asked the Lord President of the Council who are the members of the Committee of Council which will consider the charters of the new universities; and what criteria are applied to the consideration of clauses concerning student discipline.

Mr. Bowden

The reference to a Committee of Council is in this case simply a formal description for the customary process of consultation between Ministers. In regard to university charters the Ministers concerned include, in addition to myself, the Secretary of State for Education and Science.

I am not in a position to comment on the criteria applied to any particular clauses of such charters. These must depend on the circumstances of each individual case.
