HC Deb 30 July 1940 vol 363 c1184W
Sir S. Reed

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what is the contribution from the public revenues to the cost of the branch of The Royal Institute of International Affairs at Balliol College; and whether it proposed to make any change in the relations between that branch and the Government in view of the altered international situation?

Mr. Butler

The amount of the grant-in-aid is undergoing a review. A reduction is anticipated, as a result of the efforts of the Institute to make all such economies as have become possible in the altered international situation. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the negative.
