§ Mr. Maxwell-Hyslopasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why his decision as to phase 2 of the East Devon college of further education, promised for the end of March, is still outstanding; and whether he will announce it without further delay.
§ Mr. DunnThis project was submitted by Devon LEA as a candidate for the local authority further and higher education major building programme 1988–89. It is under consideration, together with the bids submitted by other LEAs in England. The delay in responding to LEAs' bids is regretted and an announcement will be made as soon as possible. However, my right hon. Friend will not be in a position to inform LEAs of their capital expenditure allocations for 1988–89 until the end of this year.
