HC Deb 15 April 1983 vol 40 c455W
Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to prevent the dispersal of specialist departmental libraries in universities or university departments which have been closed as the result of abolishing teaching posts or for other reasons since January 1981; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

No; library organisation is entirely a matter for individual institutions.
