HC Deb 05 May 1977 vol 931 c246W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals have been submitted to her by the Inner London Education Authority concerning the possible merger of Shore-ditch College at Runnymede with Brunei University at Uxbridge; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Oakes

The proposals announced by my center hon. Friend on 24th January provide for further consideration to be given to the organisation of five teacher training institutions maintained by the Inner London Education Authority, including Shoreditch College. Discussions are taking place between the authority and the university about a possible merger, but the authority has not yet submitted any formal proposal.
