HC Deb 03 May 1967 vol 746 cc81-2W
Mr. Eadie

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress he has to report in relation to the siting of the new University of Heriot Watt in the County of Midlothian.

Mr. Crosland

The Government have agreed in principle to the acceptance of the offer by the Midlothian County Council of a site for Heriot Watt University at Riccarton Mains. The local authorities concerned are now investigating the planning and other questions which must be settled before the site can be acquired.
