HC Deb 26 October 1967 vol 751 cc532-3W
45. Mr. David Owen

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is able to announce whether a teacher training college is to be sited in Plymouth; and if he will give details as to its size and nature.

Mr. Gordon Walker

The College of St. Mark and St. John, at present in London, has reached agreement with the City of Plymouth to move the College to a site at Plymouth. Consultations are proceeding and I shall be prepared to authorise the provision of premises for a college of 750 places in the first instance, with the possibility of subsequent expansion if circumstances warrant it.
