HC Deb 21 January 1958 vol 580 c878
28. Mr. Bence

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he proposes taking to increase scientific and technological education in Scotland.

Mr. N. Macpherson

Of the £10 million programme authorised for building for technical education my right hon. Friend has already approved projects to the value of £7,300,000. He is at present considering further projects to the value of £1,200,000 and hopes soon to receive others covering the remaining £1,500,000. He is taking every opportunity by means of conferences and other forms of publicity to encourage employers and young workers to make full use of the facilities avaliable.
