§ 46. Dame Irene Wardasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what discussions he has had with the chairman of the University Grants Committee, Sir John Wolfenden, about 264W expediting an educational establishment for advanced technology to serve the North-East.
§ Sir E. BoyleThere are at present three principal establishments for education in advanced technology in the North-East, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the Rutherford College of Technology at Newcastle upon Tyne, and the Sunderland Technical College. At the beginning of this academic year they contained about 1,800 full-time advanced technological students. The University Grants Committee is concerned only with university institutions, and on this subject they are in constant touch with me.
