HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 c118W
86. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Lord President of the Council if he will list the provisions of the law which lay down his responsibilities in relation to the granting of charters at New Hall, Cambridge; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. R. Carr

Charters are granted under the Royal Prerogative on the advice of the Privy Council.

As the hon. Member will know, a petition for the grant of a charter to New Hall, Cambridge, is now being considered by the Privy Council, which will in due course submit a recommendation to Her Majesty.
