Summary
Telling Knight that he is of the opinion that the University (Scotland) Bill can be passed in this session; disputing Under-Secretary for Scotland Robert William Cochran-Patrick's allegation that if the Bill does not pass in this session, it will not pass in the next one: "I will undertake to say that he has no authority from the Cabinet for holding such a view."
