§ 46. Mrs. Whiteasked the Minister of Education what are the reasons for the delay in the building programme at the. Northern Polytechnic.
§ Sir D. EcclesI regret very much the delays to this important project. Several changes in the schedules of accommodation and finally a tender well above the cost limits have been the main causes for the hold-up. I have asked the L.C.C. and the college to find a way to cut a proportion of the excess figure of the cost and I hope this will soon be done.
