§ 79. Mr. J. Johnsonasked the Minister of Education why she is proposing to close the training college for technical teachers at Bolton.
§ Miss HorsbrughI am considering the possibility of closing this college because the number of teachers needed in posts for which students of the existing three technical teacher training colleges are suitable, could in my view be trained in two colleges. I will, however, again review the probable demand for these teachers before I reach a decision.
