HC Deb 27 October 1960 vol 627 c2550
5. Mr. W. Yates

asked the Minister of Education what progress has been made in the construction of a technical college at Bennetts Bank, Wellington: and when it will be opened.

Sir D. Eccles

The local education authority expects to have the building in use for the autumn term, 1961, as originally planned.

Mr. Yates

Is my right hon. Friend aware that that is quite satisfactory, but will he also bear in mind the Oakengates Technical College founded by the Walker Trust? Will he do his best to see that the Shropshire County Council uses this building for the benefit of education in the area of Oakengates?

Sir D. Eccles

I will look into that and write to my hon. Friend.
