HC Deb 06 July 1989 vol 156 c289W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what criteria he would use to evaluate a proposal to turn into a city technology college a school which has already been refused grant-maintained status; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Butcher

My right hon. Friend has not received, and has no grounds for expecting to receive, any such proposal. Any proposal for the establishment of a city technology college in a particular set of premises would be considered on its merits.
