HC Deb 24 February 1966 vol 725 cc124-5W
37. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which of the recommendations of the Robbins Committee on Higher Education have been accepted; which have been rejected; and which still await decisions.

Mr. Prentice

The Report of the Committee on Higher Education contained 178 recommendations variously addressed to one or more of the following: the Government, the University Grants Committee, the universities, the schools and other responsible bodies. I cannot answer the hon. Member's Question in the precise terms in which he put it, but I can assure him that the Government have, or will shortly have taken decisions on all the major recommendations addressed to them and that most will be found to have accorded with what the Committee recommended.
