Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design

Lord Hughes of Woodside Excerpts

Thursday 3rd December 2015 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park]

They have all been quite hard so far, so I thank my noble friend for his question.

[Lord Hughes of Woodside (Lab)]

My Lords, will the Minister tell me, as an innocent in these matters, why she does not agree to at least say that the concerns of the House, which she has listened to, will be transmitted to the university concerned? Churning out figures about the millions of pounds that have been spent is no good at all to the people who are losing this very valuable asset.

[Baroness Evans of Bowes Park]

As I have said, this is not a matter for government. But I am very sure that the university will take note of what has been said this morning.
