44. Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement on the universities' building programme for next year.

Sir E. Boyle

I would refer the hon. Member to the very full reply given by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State to the hon. Member for Chippenham (Mr. Awdry) on 14th May, in the course of which he announced that the Government had authorised Exchequer grants for building work to the value of £54½ million to be started in the universities during the 15th month period from 1st January, 1965, to 31st March, 1966.
