asked the Minister of Works what is the estimated cost of new buildings for the extension of the Newcastle division of the University of Durham, for which licences to build have been issued since the end of the war with Germany; and what is the estimated cost of similar buildings which licences have been applied for and are waiting decision, giving figures for cost of land and cost of furniture and equipment, separately.

Mr. Tomlinson

The estimated cost of new buildings for the extension of the Newcastle division of the University of Durham, for which building licences have been issued since May, 1945, is £226,000. Without further knowledge of the precise buildings my hon. Friend has in mind, I am unable to answer the second part of the Question.
