§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe sum which Parliament is to be asked to vote for grants to Universities in 1946 will include£2,500,000 for capital grants. It is not possible at this stage to foresee requirements for subsequent years, but my right hon. Friend has stated that he will be prepared, if good cause is shown, to ask Parliament to vote even larger capital sums.
