§ Mr. Reidasked the Lord President of the Council what discussions he has had with representatives of the eight Scottish universities over devolution; and whether he has any plans to meet the principals of these universities.
§ Mr. Edward ShortI have had no discussions, but I am aware of the views of the Scottish University Principals following their meeting earlier this year with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland. I hope to meet representatives of the universities myself when I visit Scotland in September.
