<title>Chair Of Scottish History</title>
<proposer id="10433">Ray Michie</proposer>
<date>1992-01-29</date>
<text>That this House notes with deep concern the decision by Edinburgh University not to appoint a professor to the Chair of Scottish History for up to two years; deplores the insensitivity of such a move by the capital's leading educational institution; notes the significant contribution the department makes to the teaching and researching of Scottish history and the importance of the subject to Scotland's historical and cultural identity; and calls on the University to reverse this decision immediately.</text>
