HC Deb 24 February 1965 vol 707 c121W
Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what date discussions began between Her Majesty's Government and the University Grants Committee on the possibility of special grants being made to Oxford and Cambridge colleges through the University Grants Committee in lieu of rates.

Mr. Crosland

The attention of the University Grants Committee was drawn towards the end of last year to the problems that would arise if the present law concerning the rating of Oxford and Cambridge colleges was altered.
