HC Deb 15 December 1966 vol 738 c131W
43. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what consideration has been given to the case for establishing a school of medicine in Keele University and the hospitals of the Stoke-on-Trent group; and when a decision can be expected.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The Royal Commission on Medical Education is considering in the context of medical education generally the question of establishing further new medical schools. The proposal for a new school at Keele, together with similar proposals from other universities, is also being considered by the University Grants Committee in consultation with the Ministry of Health. I cannot say when it will be possible to announce any decisions.
