HC Deb 26 January 1961 vol 633 cc42-3W
58. Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make a further statement about university development in Scotland.

Sir E. Boyle

I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. and learned Friend's statement of 25th January about the new and substantially increased building programmes which he has now authorised for universities in Great Britain. I am advised that, so far as can be foreseen at this time, these programmes should allow the Scottish universities and the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow, to accommodate the increased numbers of students who will be coming forward in this decade.
