To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the criteria he will apply in advising the Privy Council on applications for the use of the university title by higher education institutions other than the present polytechnics and universities.

Mr. Lang

My Department has today written to those representative bodies to which copies of our consultation paper on this matter were issued on 31 October. Copies have also been sent to all Members presently serving on the First Scottish Standing Committee considering the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Bill. Given the public interest in this matter the full text of the letter is reproduced below.
