§ Mr. Goldingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will consult the trade unions concerned about the proposal to site the North Staffordshire Polytechnic at Stafford.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeI have myself received representations about the matter from many individuals and groups, including the North Staffordshire Trades Council, a number of local trade union branches and some of the teachers' organisations. These representations will certainly be borne in mind when the Joint Education Committee submits its proposals for the development of the Polytechnic.
