§ Mr. Malcolm BruceTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what estimates he has of the cost of developing a new dental school in Edinburgh in the event of the University Grants Committee working party's proposals to close Dundee's dental hospital going ahead.
Mr. JacksonCurrent plans envisage a replacement dental hospital in Edinburgh; there are no present plans for a new dental school within the university. The University Grants Committee, in consultation with relevant Government Departments, is considering the implications of the dental review working party's proposals.
