HC Deb 27 June 1986 vol 100 c325W
Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is prepared to receive deputations led by hon. and right hon. Members about the future of individual colleges and universities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Walden

My right hon. Friend and I are always ready to receive deputations led by hon. and right hon. Members about matters within our responsibilities. In general, however, representations about the future of individual colleges and universities would be more usefully addressed in the first instance to the National Advisory Body for Public Sector Higher Education or to the University Grants Committee.
