HC Deb 06 June 1989 vol 154 cc20-1W
49. Mr. Holt

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when the Secretary of State last met the general secretary of the City and Guilds Institute; and what was discussed.

Mr. Jackson

My right hon. Friend last met the Director General of the City and Guilds of London Institute on 17 November 1987. A range of vocational education issues were discussed with the chairman and senior members of CGLI. Opportunities have arisen since that time for a number of informal discussions with both the Secretary of State and myself.

My right hon. Friend has a meeting arranged with the chairman and Director General of CGLI for 14 June when he intends both to review the achievements of CGLI and discuss the initiatives suggested in his speech to the Association for Colleges of Further and Higher Education on 15 February 1989.
