HC Deb 17 May 1972 vol 837 cc115-6W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will now give approval to Ayrshire Education Committee's request that it be allowed to provide a Higher National Certificate Course in mining at Ayr Technical College in session 1972–73 and beyond.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

I have already informed Ayrshire Education Authority that, having reconsidered its case, I am not prepared to include this course in its approved scheme of further education.
