HC Deb 02 May 1973 vol 855 c310W
21. Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of Stale for Scotland what action he is taking to improve the facilities available in Scotland for further and higher education in petroleum technology and related fields.

Mr. Monro

Scottish universities and central institutions already provide higher education courses in fields relevant to the oil industry. My right hon. Friend's Department is in consultation with other interested Departments on what further specialist courses may be required to meet the needs of the industry. Below this level the petroleum industry has been given information as to the relevant courses available in the further education service in Scotland and invited to indicate any changes in existing courses or any new courses it might require.
