asked the percentage which it is estimated that the Grants from the Exchequer will bear to the total incomes of universities and university colleges in England and in Wales, respectively, for the year 1911–12?

The figures for 1911–12 are not yet available. The hon. Member will find the figures for the previous year in Table 1, Volume I., of Reports from Universities and University Colleges in Great Britain which are in receipt of Grant from the Board of Education [1912, Cd. 6245].

Can the right hon. Gentleman say when the figures are likely to be available for the year 1911–12?

Shortly, but I am afraid I cannot at the present moment give the hon. Member the date.
