HC Deb 20 October 1975 vol 898 cc88-9W
Mr. Robin F. Cook

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is satisfied with the number of universities which have applied for a charter under the Universities (Scotland) Act 1966; and if he proposes to encourage an increase in this number.

Mr. William Ross

None of the universities concerned has applied for a charter. The decision whether or not to do so rests with them.
