Written Answers. - Report of Commission on Higher Education.
83.
The report of the Commission is not yet available, in either language. It has not been delayed for the purpose of having it translated. I have not seen a draft report and am not in a position to say precisely when the report will be published.
Every effort is being made to complete it as soon as possible this year, but I cannot, pending its publication, anticipate such decisions as may be taken in the field of higher education as a result of it. I am satisfied that the university facilities in 1966-67 will meet the demand for university education in that year.
