HC Deb 08 March 1956 vol 549 cc211-2W
Mr. Roberts

asked the Minister of Education why the new £1,000,000 plus, technical college in Leeds is not among those named in the White Paper as one which is to deal with advanced technical training.

Sir D. Eccles

The list in paragraph 68 of the White Paper is restricted to colleges with courses for which I already pay 75 per cent. grant. I propose to discuss with the authority the future status of this new college, which is still being built.

addition, there are a number of nonofficial bodies which make awards. So far as I know, the only awards which are restricted to applied science or technology are the King George VI Memorial Fellowships.
