Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is aware that several hundred students with full qualifications for entry will be rejected by Strathclyde this year because of shortage of places; and if he will restore the cuts in university building and consider again the advisability of establishing another university in Scotland.
§ Mr. Gordon WalkerStatistics of admissions to universities next autumn are not available at this stage. The reduction to be made in capital investment by universities in Great Britain is not unreasonable in view of the need for economies in national expenditure. The decision stands that no more new universities should be established for several years.
