HC Deb 19 September 2002 vol 390 c106W
Kate Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she has been consulted about the proposal by King's College London to sell the land known as Block 9 at St. Thomas's Hospital. [72383]

Margaret Hodge

Like all universities, King's College London is an independent, autonomous institution. There is no requirement on them to consult with the Secretary of State for Education and Skills before disposing of an asset, and they have not done so.
