Universities

HC Deb 04 December 1961 vol 650 cc126-7W

Mr. Dempsey

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer in view of the lack of accommodation at Glasgow University, when it is proposed to start the building of the new university; and where it is to be sited.

Sir E. Boyle

As my right hon. and learned Friend made clear in announcing the four proposed universities, the question of any further new university institutions must now await the Report of the Robbins Committee. As, however, I explained on 8th June, 1961, the University Grants Committee has under consideration the status of the Glasgow Royal College of Science and Technology.
