HC Deb 07 December 1976 vol 922 c126W
20. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will appoint a working party to investigate, as a matter of urgency, the capital value of buildings and equipment of colleges of education no longer required for teacher training, and to make recommendations as to their future use within the State education system.

Mr. Oakes

No. This is a matter for local education authorities and the voluntary bodies concerned. My Department offers advice in individual cases as appropriate, in consultation with other Departments.
