20. Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make a fresh statement on the future of the Scottish colleges of education, in view of the Government's defeat in the Scottish Grand Committee on 9 December.

No arguments were advanced in the debate which we had not already considered and my right hon. Friend has no intention of altering the decisions which he announced on 6 August 1980.
