HC Deb 02 February 1983 vol 36 c99W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list in the Official Report those local education authorities, or parts thereof, where he has approved schemes for tertiary colleges or tertiary systems under section 12 of the Education Act 1944 in each of the past three years.

Dr. Boyson

Section 12 of the Education Act 1980, to which the hon. Member presumably refers, does not apply directly to tertiary colleges as these are further education establishments. The following statutory proposals for schools, which were associated with the establishment of such a college, have been approved.

1980

  • Cheshire (Crewe)

1981

  • Durham (Easington)

1982

  • Dorset (Weymouth and Portland)
  • Dudley (Halesowen)
  • Hampshire (Alton)
  • Wiltshire (Swindon)
