Mr. R. Burke
It is not within my function to introduce a course leading to the award of a degree in any subject in institutions of higher education. This is a matter for consideration by the authorities of the institutions concerned. I am aware, however, that environmental studies are already associated, or are proposed to be associated, to greater or lesser extent with existing degree courses in some of the university colleges.
