§ 54. Dr. A. Thompsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer Whether he will appoint a committee, the membership of which will include university vice-chancellors, to inquire into means of providing more detailed information to Parliament on university matters.
§ Mr. BrookeThe U.G.C. already provide a great deal of information, for instance through their annual returns, and I shall shortly be laying before the House their report on the universities during the years 1957 to 1961. I have no doubt that the committee under Lord Robbins which is reviewing the future pattern of higher education in this country, and has a distinguished academic membership, will include this question of information in their deliberations.
