HC Deb 28 March 1923 vol 162 c559W
Mr. T. DAVIES

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in consequence of the Wilts County Council reducing its yearly grant to Bristol University by the sum of £1,000 in 1923, a similar amount will he stopped from the Exchequer grant?

Major BOYD-CARPENTER

While I should regret any reduction of the University grants by this or any other county council at a time when universities in general are in great need of local support, I should not propose in the circumstances of this particular case to make a corresponding reduction in the annual Treasury grant.
