§ 44. Sir J. Edenasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, in view of the fact that the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors supports the courses for general surveying and building economics at the Bournemouth College of Technology, he will now, for the purposes of paragraph 20 of Command Paper No. 3006, A Plan for Polytechnics and Other Colleges, rank the College as a centre of higher education in this specialist field.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsBournemouth is one of a large number of colleges offering professional courses in building and related subjects, and it would not be appropriate to deal with it under paragraph 20 of the White Paper. Subject to the possible need for further concentration of work in these fields, there is, however, no reason why the college should not continue to offer its existing courses as long as there is a sufficient demand from students.
