The list of institutions in the Order is amended to take account of (1) the changes of name of Napier Polytechnic of Edinburgh, Paisley College of Technology and The Robert Gordon Institute of Technology to Napier University, University of Paisley and The Robert Gordon University respectively, and (2) the merger of Glasgow Polytechnic and The Queen's College, Glasgow, to form a new institution, Glasgow Caledonian University. Provision is added to ensure that a designated institution shall continue to be designated notwithstanding any change of name.
