§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is her estimate of the revenue saving in a full year as a result of the closure of those colleges of education currently so scheduled; and whether she will apply an equivalent sum to funding increased vocational training either directly to colleges that have such training facility or by extending poolable 137W courses for which 90 per cent. grants are available from her Department, to include vocational training courses.
§ Mr. OakesIt is not possible to forecast the revenue saving arising from the closure of colleges of education which are to discontinue initial teacher training by 1981 because that will depend on such factors as the future use of the premises and the employment of the staff, which are matters for the local authority or providing body to determine.
