§ Mr. FraserTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to establish a city technology college in Lambeth.
§ Mr. ButcherWe have received no proposals as yet from sponsors wishing to establish a city technology college in Lambeth. However, I understand that the Philip and Pauline Harris trust has approached the London borough of Croydon about the establishment of a city technology college in the premises of the Sylvan high school; that Croydon is considering publishing proposals under section 12 of the Education Act 1980 to close the school to enable it to do so; and that, subject to my right hon. Friend approving those proposals, the city technology college's catchment area would include parts of Lambeth.
