HC Deb 17 December 1974 vol 883 c371W
37. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is satisfied with the number of professorial chairs in otology; and if he will make a statement about his proposals for the future.

Mr. Prentice

I am informed that there is at present one chair in otolaryngology and two others in related subjects. Universities are autonomous institutions and they decide their own academic policy.
