§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress he has made on the plans for the new building for the engineering faculty of the City University; and when the starting date is likely to be.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI understand that the University Grants Committee approved a grant of £2.39 million in July, 1966 for major extensions at this University, including approximately £1 million for engineering building, and work is now proceeding on these projects.
There is a provisional allocation of a further £1.4 million for the period 1970 to 1972, most of which is intended for major mechanical and civil engineering extensions.
