§ Lord James Douglas-Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he takes when appointing the University Grants Committee to seek to ensure that its membership is representative of all British universities.
§ Mr. WaldenThere are currently 11 university members of the University Grants Committee, which advises on 381W grants to 54 universities and colleges. Members of the committee are chosen by my right hon. Friend after consultation with the Secretaries of State for Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland and having regard in particular to the need for the committee to be able to cover the main broad university subject areas. They are not appointed in a representative capacity, but because of the personal contribution they can make to the work of the committee.
