HC Deb 27 February 1945 vol 408 cc1263-4W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education at what date and with what Vice-Chancellors he conducted the consultation influencing the proposals outlined in Circular 18; whether any publication of the opinions offered in this consultation will be made; and whether the McNair Committee was also consulted in the preparation of that Circular

Mr. Butler

The proposals embodied in Circular 18 were prepared on the advice of the Committee, of which the membership is set out in the Circular. No Vice-Chancellors of Universities were members of the Committee. The McNair Committee had finished its deliberations before the proposals in Circular 18 were prepared.
