To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to meet the University Grants Committee to discuss the future of the Scottish universities; and if he will make a statement.

77. Dr. Moonie

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he has any plans to meet the University Grants Committee to discuss the future of the Scottish universities; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson
