HC Deb 27 January 1988 vol 126 c280W
36. Mr. Eadie

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what processes of consultation he undertook before announcing the withdrawal of funding from Newbattle Abbey college in Dalkeith.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

There was no public consultation before the decision was announced, but there will be adequate opportunity for the governors and others to express their views before the decision takes effect.
