HC Deb 20 June 1984 vol 62 cc185-6W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals he has for the future development of the Wolverhampton polytechnic; and what new courses are likely to be started during the next three years.

Mr. Brooke

The 1984–85 academic plan for Wolverhampton polytechnic, as endorsed by my right hon. Friend, provides for a target of 5,477 full-time equivalent students undertaking advanced further education courses. Within the framework of this academic plan, it is for the polytechnic and its maintaining local authority to consider and submit for approval as necessary proposals for new courses in future years.
