HC Deb 03 July 1932 vol 156 cc32-3
54. Major BARNETT

asked the President of the Board of Education when the North-West London Polytechnic, the scheme for which was formulated in 1892, and the land for which Was purchased in 1893 in the Prince of Wales's Road, Kentish Town, is likely to be erected; and whether he will represent to the London County Council the need for the early erection of this polytechnic to serve an area in the North-West of London which is without adequate facilities for technical instruction?

Mr. FISHER

I am unable to state when the premises for the North-West London Polytechnic will be provided, and in present financial circumstances I do not propose to make any representations to the London County Council on the subject.

Major BARNETT

Is my right hon. Friend aware that the land was purchased 29 years ago, and that the district is greatly in want of technical education?
