§ Mr. NORMAN CRAIGasked the Prime Minister whether any communications had been made to the Senate of the University of London by the Government or by the Royal Commission on University Education in London in regard to the scheme for acquiring the Bedford estate site prior to Lord Haldane informing the University that the promised funds were no longer available for that purpose; with whom the responsibility for the delay that had prejudicially affected the appointment of the trustees and the acquisition of the site rested; and whether he would lay the correspondence with the university upon the Table?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe answer to the first part of the question is in the negative; neither the Government nor the Royal Commission have taken any steps in connection with the scheme for acquiring the Bedford estate site. I cannot answer the second part of the question, which should be addressed to the parties concerned. There is no correspondence on the matter in the possession of the Government.
