HC Deb 14 December 1989 vol 163 c740W
Mr. Straw

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science which city technology colleges have signed agreements with his Department; and what areas these agreements cover.

Mrs. Rumbold

My right hon. Friend will shortly be concluding funding agreements with all city technology colleges on the lines of the model agreement placed in the Library of the House earlier this year. Pending the conclusion of these agreements, there have been exchanges of letters with principal sponsors setting out their commitment and the conditions on which the Secretary of State accepted their sponsorship.
