HC Deb 10 June 1980 vol 986 cc123-4W
Mr. Millan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will give details for each college of education in Scotland of the present use of its facilities by other bodies; and what additional use is in prospect.

Mr. Younger

: Details are as in the following table :

Colleges of Education and Principal User of Surplus Accommodation

Aberdeen Robert Gordon's Institute of Technology (Department of Business Management Studies): from the start of the 1980–81 academic session

Callendar Park Forth Valley Health Board (College of Nurse Training and Midwifery): since September 1979

Craigie Ayr Technical College (Department of Accounting and Business Administration) : since September 1977

Craiglockhart Napier College of Commerce and Technology : since September 1978

Dundee None. Decisions will be taken in the light inter alia of the report (expected soon) of a working group on facilities for non-university tertiary education in the Dundee area

Dunfermline No surplus accommodation at present

Hamilton Strathclyde Regional Council (Teachers' Resource Centre): since August 1979

Jordanhill Property outwith the main campus is being used by Strathclyde Regional Council and by the Education Resource Unit of the Youth Opportunities Programme. (Other surplus accommodation in the form of hutted accommodation has been dismantled.)

Moray House Scottish Council for Research in Education : since April 1980. (Some property outwith the main campus will also be given up shortly.)

Notre Dame Scottish Council for Educational Technology : in occupation of the Dowanhill campus since March 1980

In addition, surplus residential accommodation in most of the colleges has been made available to students at other institutions. I shall be considering the use of any further surplus accommodation in the light of my current review of the college of education system as a whole.
