HC Deb 19 May 1960 vol 623 c123W
48. Mr. Ainsley

asked the Minister of Education if, in view of the urgent shortage of teachers, he will reconsider his decision to close the Wynyard Hall, County Durham, two year teacher training college.

Sir D. Eccles

No. It was never intended that this college should be permanent and this has also bean the view of the Durham Authority. It is too small and too isolated to offer a suitable base for a three-year course. Neville's Cross Training College is being enlarged to accommodate the students who would otherwise have gone to Wynyard Hall.
