§ 83. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that certain boys at secondary modern schools in Newcastle-under-Lyme were recently offered places for General Certificate of Education courses at the North Staffordshire College of Technology, and that these offers were subsequently withdrawn and replaced by offers of places at the Leek College of Further Education; and, in view of the disappointment, inconvenience, and extra travel involved, if he will make inquiries with a view to devising a satisfactory plan with the authorities and parents concerned.
§ Sir D. EcclesYes. I understand that arrangements have now been made for these boys to be admitted to the North Staffordshire College of Technology.
