HC Deb 08 February 1968 vol 758 cc201-2W
46. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to initiate studies into the use of university buildings; and if he will undertake to make public the results of any such studies.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Committee of Vice-Chancellors and Principals set up a sub-committee on the use of university capacity in June, 1966. One of the studies they are undertaking is supported by a research grant from my Department. My Department is also supporting studies in the design of new university buildings. It is for the Committee and the university authorities to decide how best to make known their findings.
