§ Dr. A. Thompsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make representations in support of the establishment of a new Scottish university.
§ Mr. MaclayI understand that the University Grants Committee has asked the four Scottish universities and the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow, for their proposals for expansion to meet future needs. I am keeping in touch with the Committee to see how far examination of these proposals and needs suggests that the establishment of a new university should be considered.
