Member for Mitcham and Morden (Mrs. Rumbold) on 30 April, Official Report, column 469.
Mr. JacksonThe UGC's current resources allocation process is described in circular letters of 19 November 1985 and 20 May 1986. Copies of both are in the Library.

In addition, a separate block grant allocation is made for the University of Wales registry.
