HC Deb 01 May 1922 vol 153 c1008W
Captain W. BENN

asked the President of the Board of Education whether, in view of the unanimous recommendation of the Cambridge Committee of the Universities Commission in favour of the admission of women to full membership of Cambridge University, he is prepared to take the necessary steps to introduce legislation on this subject; and, if not, whether he is prepared to recommend that a largely increased grant to the university should be made conditional upon the admission of women to membership?

Mr. FISHER

The Report of the Royal Commission on the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge is now under the Government's consideration, and I am not yet in a position to make any statement on the matter.
