HC Deb 26 May 1965 vol 713 c98W
Mr. Woodhouse

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government when he expects to reach a decision on the possibility of special grants being made to Oxford and Cambridge colleges through the University Grants Committee in lieu of rates.

Mr. Mellish

The possibility of making special grants to the Oxford and Cambridge colleges is only one aspect of a complex problem. My right hon. Friend cannot say when the Government will be able to reach a decision on all the issues involved.
