HC Deb 21 March 1979 vol 964 cc647-8W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, when he has appointed the tertiary education council for Scotland, he will ask it to consider the use which can be made of colleges of education to fulfil other higher education requirements in Scotland.

Mr. McElhone

This question will be within the council's terms of reference, but my right hon. Friend does not propose to make it the subject of a specific remit to the council. A wide range of alternative educational uses has already been found for the surplus accommodation in colleges of education.
