HC Deb 24 May 1971 vol 818 cc36-7W
Mr. Oswald

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the total number of technical colleges at present in Scotland; and where they are situated.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

There are 107 centres offering day further education courses' of which 13 are central institutions—including 3 colleges of agriculture—51 are technical colleges or colleges of commerce, and the remainder are smaller centres offering a more limited range of courses.

I have sent the hon. Member a copy of the Directory of Day Courses for 1970–71 which is published by the Scottish Education Department and which lists all further education establishments in Scotland and their locations.
