§ 32. Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he intends to introduce a system of credit transfer between higher education institutions.
§ Mr. WaldegraveMy right hon. Friend last week invited tenders for the design and testing on a pilot scale of an educational credit transfer information system. The operational trial will be mounted in the South West regional advisory council area. Details are in the Library. We hope and believe that institutions will support this venture and that it may represent an important step in developing credit transfer nationally.
