HC Deb 25 July 1956 vol 557 cc50-1W
Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education which art schools in Cornwall under his control provide full-time courses to enable students to work for the National Diploma in Design.

Sir D. Eccles

The Penzance and Falmouth Schools of art; but I am suggesting that the course at Penzance be discontinued.

Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education what reductions he has called for in courses at art schools in Cornwall; and how much he expects to save thereby.

Sir D. Eccles

I have suggested to the Cornwall Authority that the full-time courses at the Camborne and Penzance Schools of Art and certain of the courses at the Falmouth School of Art should be discontinued as from next session. I cannot yet give an estimate of the savings which may result.
