HC Deb 28 June 1982 vol 26 cc240-1W
Mr. Kilfedder

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (1) if he will publish guidelines for the benefit of academic and other staff of the New University of Ulster who are trustees of any property, legacy, endowment, bequest or gift for the purposes of education at the university so as to ensure that there is no infringement of Charter in regard to any connection they may have with the work of the steering group;

(2) whether he is satisfied that a member of the New University of Ulster could undertake membership of the proposed steering committee on possible amalgamation with the Ulster Polytechnic, in the absence of specific terms of reference, without contravening the Royal Charter granted by Her Majesty the Queen to the New University.

Mr. Scott

I am not aware of any specific trustee or charter difficulty that would affect members of the New University of Ulster being appointed to the steering group.
