HC Deb 16 February 1981 vol 999 c28W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether any application for public funds has been received from the Trades Union Congress for its proposed national centre for trade union education at Hornsey; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Boyson

Following consultations with the previous Administration, the TUC re-applied in July 1979 for grant in support of the capital costs of establishing a national centre for trade union education. This was refused in January 1980 because of public expenditure considerations. No further application has been received in respect of Hornsey or elsewhere.
