HC Deb 20 April 1967 vol 745 cc129-30W
39. Mr. Palmer

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the progress of the plans for the proposed new Bristol Polytechnic.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

My right hon. Friend's invitation to Bristol to prepare a Polytechnic scheme was issued only on 4th April. But I know that the Bristol authority have been considering the matter for some time and there have been informal discussions with the Department.
