HC Deb 25 July 1957 vol 574 c83W
100. Mr. Parker

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education whether he will take steps to grant regional status to the South-East Essex Technical College so that it can meet the need for more advanced courses in the district.

Sir E. Boyle

The courses at this college do not meet the special conditions required for the payment of advanced technology grant at the rate of 75 per cent. There are, however, a number of advanced courses which my noble Friend hopes will develop in step with local demand.
