HC Deb 04 February 1974 vol 868 cc225-6W
Mr. Beith

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether the proposed participation of the Civil Service College Edinburgh Centre in the funding of a chair in public administration at the University of Edinburgh has been deferred as a result of the economy measures.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

We are very anxious that this appointment should proceed but are aware of the problems of the university in connection with it and the Civil Service College is discussing these with the university.
