HC Deb 22 July 1985 vol 83 cc352-3W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what factors he is taking into account in his present consideration of proposals to centralise the micro-electronics education programme and to move its administrative headquarters from Newcastle-upon-Tyne to London; what financial support he intends to give the programme during the next two years; and how this compares with the financial backing which his Department has allocated to it during the past two years.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend will make an announcement shortly.
