HC Deb 02 May 1940 vol 360 cc928-9W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Home Secretary whether, in view of the unexpected course taken by the war, he is now able to modify the advice tendered by him to the schools of London Uni- versity last summer, acting upon which they evacuated their students from London; and whether, in consideration of the crippling cost to the schools of continued evacuation, he will sanction their return in the coming autumn?

Sir J. Anderson

I have already explained the general views of the Government in this matter at a deputation from representatives of London University which I received last week. In view of the second part of the Question, I should like to make it clear that no question of Government sanction is involved and that the decision rests with the responsible authorities of the university.
