Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the latest position in respect of the future of teacher training in the Doncaster Institute of Higher Education.

Mr. Oakes

Written representations from the local education authority are awaited, following my meeting with a deputation including two hon. Friends on 1st February.

Mr. Kelley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what further representations she has received regarding the future of the teacher training section of the Doncaster Institute of Higher Education; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Oakes

Since my hon. Friend brought a deputation to me on 1st February, representations from some 34 other persons or bodies, including the institute's steering committee, have been received. All the representations will be taken into account when final decisions are taken in the early summer.
