§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science following his decision on the de la Salle college, what proportion of Catholic training college places will be in (a) the north and (b) the north-west of England.
§ Mr. BrookeFor Departmental planning purposes, the north of England is normally defined as Northumberland, Durham, Cumbria, Tyne and Wear and Cleveland, whilst the north west includes Lancashire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Derbyshire. On this basis, none of the intakes of initial teacher training places allocated to the Roman Catholic colleges for 1985 will be in the north, and 20 per cent. will be in the north west; 19 per cent. will be in the region known as Yorkshire and Humberside.
