HC Deb 23 May 1986 vol 98 cc328-9W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will list in the Official Report (a) all those initial teacher training institutes which fully satisfy all the criteria that he sent to the hon. Member for Kingston upon Hull, North and (b) all the initial teacher training institutes which have failed to satisfy all the criteria and have been given the opportunity to meet the criteria fully, indicating those criteria which have not been met.

Mr. Chris Patten

The criteria referred to by the hon. Member are a summary of the main principles that informed the planning of initial teacher training intakes. My right hon. Friend's provisional decisions are based on an overall judgement of how intakes can best be deployed to ensure the most effective provision of initial teacher training in the public sector as a whole, taking account of those principles and the proposals received from the training institutions and others concerned.

Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals he has for primary initial teacher training in Humberside in the degree of bachelor of education and postgraduate certificate of education.

Mr. Chris Patten

I refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's Answer of 14 May at column 457.
