HC Deb 03 May 1974 vol 872 c301W
Mr. Roderick

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to remove colleges of education from the control of local authorities.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

The Government's policy is not to make any special dispositions for the colleges of education but to encourage their closer assimilation with the general system of higher and further education on the broad lines set out in the White Paper "Education: A Framework for Expansion" (Cmnd 5174).
