§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why Her Majesty's Government have withdrawn financial assistance from the National Foundry College.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsThis College is a small monotechnic offering a single course. Since it was set up in 1948 the situation has greatly changed with the extensive development of local education authority provision for higher technological education and my right hon. Friend is satisfied that the needs it serves can, like those of other industries, be more effectively met in future by a more broadly-based institution within the local education authority sector.
