§ Lord James Douglas-Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in considering any proposals for the sale of St. Andrew's college, he will bear in mind the needs of Napier college for further accommodation.
§ Mr. Allan StewartThe greater part of the Craiglockhart site of St. Andrew's college of education is owned by the Society of the Sacred Heart and the remainder by the governing body of the college.

§ Lord James Douglas-Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether plans to make Napier college a central institution, along with Glasgow college of technology, will be announced shortly.
§ Mr. Allan StewartMy right hon. Friend will announce his plans for the implementation of the statement of principle which he made on 19 July 1983 as soon as the discussions taking place with Lothian regional council and Strathclyde regional council are sufficiently advanced.
