HC Deb 22 February 1962 vol 654 c64W
46. Mrs. White

asked the Minister of Education what are the reasons for the delay in the building programme at the. Northern Polytechnic.

Sir D. Eccles

I 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.
