§ 52. Mr. James Johnsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what are his plans for building new medical schools.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsThe first phases of new schools at Nottingham and Southampton and the rebuilding and enlargement of the Charing Cross and Manchester schools are included in the University Grants Committee's programmes for 1968–69 and 1969–70. These and other projects for the extension of existing schools already in the Committee's programmes will, when complete, raise the annual entry of pre-clinical students from under 2,700 in October 1968 to 3,300 by 1975. The recommendations of the Royal Commission on Medical Education for the establishment of further new schools are still being considered.
