HC Deb 17 March 1964 vol 691 cc163-4W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science, if he is satisfied that there is adequate trade union representation provided for in the proposed Charter for the University of Strathclyde; and if he will give special consideration to this point, in view of this university's future importance to industry and science.

Mr. Hogg

One of the matters being considered by the Committee of the Privy Council to which the Petition for the grant of a Charter to the proposed University of Strathclyde stands referred is a communication from the General Council of the Scottish Trades Union Council regarding trade union representation. The Committee of Council has not yet reached a decision on this matter but will give full consideration to it.

Mr. Hannan

asked the Lord President of the Council and Minister for Science when, under the College Charter Act, 1871, the Charter granting the foundation of the new University of Strathclyde will be laid before both Houses of Parliament.

Mr. Hogg

Under the College Charter Act, 1871, the Petition for the foundation of a university, together with a copy of the draft Charter applied for, have to be laid before both Houses of Parliament. For the proposed University of Strathclyde this was done on 24th October, 1963. The Act contains no provision for any further submission of the Charter to Parliament.
