HC Deb 13 April 1984 vol 58 c468W
Mr. Hind

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he intends to extend the proposed admission scheme to the institutes of higher education and colleges of further education.

Mr. Brooke

The offer of Government grant for the scheme devised by the Committee of Directors of Polytechnics in conjunction with the Universites Central Council on Admissions was made on the understanding that the scheme would be capable of early extension to cover admissions to degree courses in other major public sector institutions. The CDP have given an assurance that it is positive in its attitude to such an early extension of the scheme.
