§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether it is his planned intention to raise the staff-student ratio beyond 11.5:1 in Scottish grant-aided colleges in future years.
§ Mr. LangI expect the overall student:staff ratio in the grant-aided colleges to reach 11.5:1 in session 1989–90. For the future I envisage that staff and student numbers will be a matter for the colleges themselves in keeping with their responsibility for achieving the best use of the resources available to them.
