HC Deb 16 May 1966 vol 728 c179W
Mr. Dempsey

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland in view of the fact that eight new universities have been built in England during the post-war period and none in Scotland, what provision is being made for the construction of new universities in Scotland, giving details of sites, starting dates and finishing dates.
