HC Deb 28 March 1969 vol 780 cc370-1W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will instruct the official representatives on the Burham Committee to seek publication of the criteria by which claims for the recognition of professional qualifications as good honours degrees are assessed.

Mr. Edward Short

There is no such assessment. As I told my hon. Friend in a written reply on 3rd February, the Burnham Committee accepts for the group III scale honours and higher degrees, but not professional qualifications.—[Vol. 777, c.41.]
