HC Deb 09 March 1971 vol 813 cc90-1W
Mr. Iremonger

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations have been made to her by the Association of Teachers in Technical Institutions and by that association's branch in the Redbridge Technical College about the rejection by the branch of the draft instrument and articles of association of that college; what consultations she is having on the matter with the responsible education authority; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

The Redbridge Branch of the A.T.T.I. wrote to my right hon. Friend on 11th February criticising the arrangements made by the local education authority for consulting the staff of the college and certain provisions of the instrument and articles of government proposed by the authority. My Department is about to consult the authority on various aspects of its proposals.
