The University Grants Committee was an advisory committee of the Her Majesty s Government British government , which advised on the distribution of grant funding amongst the British universities. It was in existence from 1919 until 1989. Its functions have now largely been taken over by the higher education funding councils HEFCE England , Scottish Funding Council SFC Scotland , HEFCW Wales , and the Department for Employment and Learning in Northern Ireland . History The creation of the UGC was first proposed in 1904 in the report of a committee chaired by Richard Haldane, 1st Viscount Haldane Lord Haldane . The UGC was eventually created in 1918, to address a need for a mechanism to channel funds to universities, which had suffered from neglect and lack of funding during the First World War. ref cite book last Shattock first Michael title The UGC and the management of the British universities publisher Society for Research into Higher Education year 1994 ISBN 0 335 19161 4 ref The UGC s role at this time was to examine the financial needs of the universities and to advise on grants, but it did not have a remit to plan for the development of universities. This situation changed after the Second World War, when the Barlow Report of 1946 recommended that the UGC take on a planning role for the university sector, to ensure that universities were adequate for national needs during post war reconstruction. The Education Act 1944 had also aimed to increase the number of school leavers qualified to enter higher education, necessitating a period of expansion for the universities, that needed planning by the UGC. During the post war years the UGC continued to have a strategic role in the development of the university sector, acting as a buffer between government and the interests of the universities. In 1964 responsibility for the UGC was transferred from HM Treasury to the newly constituted Department for Education and Skills United Kingdom Department of Education and Science ... more details

The doctrine of non derogation from grants is a principle of the law of England and Wales . As the Judicial functions of the House of Lords House of Lords explained in British Leyland Motor Corp. v. Armstrong Patents Co. , it states that a seller of realty or goods is not permitted to take any action such as bringing an infringement action that will lessen the value to the buyer of the thing sold. United States federal law recognises similar doctrines such as the exhaustion doctrine or doctrine of implied license . ref A recent decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit , Transcore, LP v. Electronic Transaction Consultants Corp. F.3d , April 8, 2009, not yet officially reported, conflates these doctrines in the following terms TransCore sought to enforce the 946 patent in derogation of the rights it granted under the TransCore Mark IV settlement agreement. That attempted derogation is prevented by legal estoppel, which gives rise to the implied license. Id . at n.4. ref A similar effect has also been realised in United States patent law under the doctrine of repair and reconstruction. ref See Aro Mfg. Co. v. Convertible Top Replacement Co., 365 U.S. 336 1961 . ref An important difference between the doctrine of non derogation from grants and other doctrines, particularly implied license, that are used to accomplish similar results is that the doctrine of non derogation from grants is inherent as a matter of property law and apparently cannot be avoided by a seller s use of language attempting to negative application of the doctrine or by trial counsel s pointing to evidence of intent not to relinquish patent rights or copyright. In contrast, the other doctrines may be vulnerable to contractual disclaimers or evidence of intent not to grant intellectual property rights.
