HC Deb 16 December 1971 vol 828 c156W
50. Mr. R. C. Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will have discussions with the University Grants Committee and local education authorities to ensure that the expansion of student numbers in higher education planned for 1972–73 is matched by an equivalent expansion in student accommodation.

Mrs. Thatcher

Building programmes to provide new residential places in 1972–73 have already been settled after such consultation.
