HC Deb 22 February 1965 vol 707 cc38-9W
Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) which sites in Swansea are large enough for the Welsh College of Advanced Technology;

(2) what progress is being made in the search for a new site for the Welsh College of Advanced Technology.

Mr. Crosland

Site proposals for the Welsh College of Advanced Technology are for consideration in the first instance by the governing body of the College in association with the academic advisory committee. No proposals on this subject have yet been put forward to me.

Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress is being made in granting full university status to the Welsh College of Advanced Technology; and how this progress compares with that being made at each of the other colleges of advanced technology.

Mr. Crosland

Arrangements have been completed for all the colleges of advanced technology, including the Welsh College of Advanced Technology, to be transferred to the grant list of the University Grants Committee from 1st April, 1965.
