§ Dr. Hampsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what grounds he is closing the teacher-training department at the Huddersfield Polytechnic five years after the merger with Oastler College of Education.
§ Mr. PrenticeI have reached no decision to close the teacher training department at the Hudersfield Polytechnic. The local education authority has been asked to consider a proposal that the department should give up the initial training of teachers and I await the authority's response.
