HC Deb 17 April 1969 vol 781 c278W
26. Mrs. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will introduce legislation to set up a separate University Grants Commission for Scotland and Scottish universities.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

No. The University Grants Committee is fully competent to look after the interests of Scottish universities. There is no evidence known to me that the Scottish universities desire any change in the present arrangements.
