HC Deb 15 July 1987 vol 119 c497W
Mr. Tom Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will state his policy towards the problem of the low morale among staff in Scottish central institutions; and if he will outline his plans to increase morale.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

Staff morale is a matter for the boards of governors and for the management of the institutions. We warmly welcome the positive way in which the central institutions are responding to the Government's policies of improving access to higher education and seeking better value for money.
