HC Deb 16 December 1919 vol 123 cc252-3W
Mr. E. KELLY

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that the governing body of University College, Dublin, have not enough money to complete the necessary buildings, especially the buildings necessary for the medical school; whether representations have been made to him on this subject by the college authorities; and, if so, with what result?

Mr. BALDWIN

I am not aware that the buildings have not been completed The college has received a building Grant of £110,000 under the Irish Universities Act, 1908, and no further Grant can be made under that Act. I have not received representations on the subject, but I understand that the college authorities have approached the University Grants Committee, appointed by my right hon. Friend to advise the Government on the application of Parliamentary Grants towards university education in the United Kingdom, and this application is under consideration by the Committee.
