HC Deb 02 December 1986 vol 106 cc563-4W
59. Mr. Allan Stewart

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a further statement on his plans for the establishment of city technology colleges.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend has invited sponsors to work in partnership with the Government on this initiative. A large number of organisations and companies have responded constructively, many wish to explore the practicalities with the Department and others have indicated that they will support the proposals in other ways.
