HC Deb 04 November 1948 vol 457 c101W
64. Mr. Ivor Thomas

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what stipulation he has laid down about the maximum salary that may be paid to professors at universities receiving grants from the University Grants Committee.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

In assessing grants to universities, the University Grants Committee recognise certain standard rates of salary for professors (other than clinical professors). Allowances are, however, made to enable institutions to pay higher rates of salary where the institution considers for any reason that the rate of salary should be above the standard. The distribution of this additional remuneration is left entirely to the institution concerned. These arrangements have been made after consultation with the Treasury.
