HC Deb 28 January 1985 vol 72 c36W
Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has recently received proposing a separate University Grants Committee for Scotland.

Mr. Brooke

None.

Dr. Godman

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if, before publishing his Green Paper on higher education, it is his intention to consult appropriate Scottish bodies on the case for a separate University Grants Committee for Scotland.

Mr. Brooke

No. The Scottish Tertiary Education Advisory Council appointed by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland is considering future strategy for higher education in Scotland, including the arrangements for providing institutions with financial support. The Government will consider these matters in the light of the council's report, which is expected later this year.
