I must express regret that
your despatch No. 30 of the 15th
February has gone unanswered for so
long, owing partly to pressure of
work here and partly to the need
for it to be considered carefully
from a number of angles and by
various parties. We have, indeed,
given a good deal of thought to it,
but I am afraid we cannot even now
say anything definite on the central
question whether the University is
to receive assistance from C.D. & W.
the Colonial
funds.
As you know, the
University Grants Advisory Committee
and the Inter-University Council give
guidance to the secretary of state
in his consideration of applications,
from Universities. The Executive
Committee of the Inter-University
Council have told us that they would
prefer not to comment on your
despatch (which they have studied)
until their representatives have
visited
