§ 36. Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Lord President of the Council if, when he approves the appointment of students to the supreme governing bodies of universities, he will arrange that the representation of university teachers is correspondingly reduced so as to ensure that lay representation constitutes at least two-thirds of the membership.
§ Mr. R. CarrWhen amendments to the Statutes of Universities involving changes in the constitution of the governing bodies are submitted for Privy Council approval, the question of overall balance is always considered, and I can assure the hon. Member that I am conscious of the value of lay membership.
