HC Deb 06 November 1987 vol 121 c892W
Mr. Devlin

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has made a decision on the siting of the Teesside city technology college; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

A final decision has not been taken on the location of the proposed Teesside city technology college. A number of possible sites are being investigated on behalf of prospective sponsors.

Mr. Devlin

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what progress has been made with raising the finance from private sources needed to put up the Teesside city technology college; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

Discussions with several prospective sponsors of a Teesside CTC have taken place and my right hon. Friend has had a number of firm indications of support. He is confident that the necessary private sector finance will be available.
