HC Deb 21 March 1968 vol 761 cc133-4W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what consideration he has given to the establishment of a polytechnic in North Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The claims of North Wales were considered along with those of other areas when the 1966 White Paper was prepared. As proposed in the White Paper, discussions have taken place about the best arrangements for higher education in the area and have resulted in a proposal for the formation of a joint committee for the administration of courses of higher education in North Wales.
