HC Deb 21 June 1982 vol 26 c18W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he had any precedent from United Kingdom experience in mind when he decided to place the responsibility of planning a new institution which will replace the new University of Ulster and the Ulster Polytechnic upon a body specifically appointed for the purpose.

Mr. Scott

No specific precedent was in mind, as was not aware of any directly comparable development elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
