§ 90. Sir D. Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action he is taking to ensure that adequate scientific training the meet the needs of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority's industrial group is given in technical colleges under his control in Scotland.
§ Mr. J. StuartAll the technical colleges have constantly before them the need to adapt their courses to meet the requirements of the latest forms of scientific work, including those in the atomic field. I know that the Atomic Energy Commission has already recruited students trained in various departments of the Royal Technical College, Glasgow, and the Governors of Robert Gordon's Technical College, Aberdeen, have indicated their willingness to provide higher level courses for any apprentices at Dounreay station who complete the more elementary courses which the education authority is planning to provide locally.
