HC Deb 19 July 1982 vol 28 c35W
Rev. Martin Smyth

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is to be the future role of the University Grants Committee in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Scott

The University Grants Committee will continue to advise the Department of Education on the funding and planning of the Northern Ireland universities, so that the needs of the Northern Ireland institutions can be considered against the same academic and financial criteria as prevail in Great Britain.
