HC Deb 17 February 1960 vol 617 c128W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of university building in the year ended 31st July, 1959, was devoted to student residential accommodation, student social and athletic activities, and libraries.

Sir E. Boyle

Of the major university building work to be financed by grants from the Exchequer and started in the calendar year 1959, just under 29 per cent. in terms of value is to be devoted to student residential accommodation, student social and athletic activities and libraries—mostly to student residential accommodation and refectories.
