HC Deb 25 June 1947 vol 439 cc47-8W
15. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what progress is being made in respect of the University of Hong Kong; what is the total estimated cost; and to what extent expenditure will be met out of the British Exchequer

Mr. Creech Jones

I would invite my hon. Friend's attention to the reply on this subject which I gave on 29th January. The recommendations to which I then referred are still under most careful consideration, and I regret that I am not yet able to make a further statement. I am fully aware of the urgency of reaching decisions as soon as possible.
