HC Deb 27 March 1990 vol 170 cc152-3W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how much private capital has been promised for a city technology academy; from whom it is to come; and under what conditions.

Mr. Lang

[holding answer 26 March 1990]: Trusthouse Forte has already announced its decision to sponsor a technology academy in Scotland and has made a firm and generous offer of £1.5 million towards its cost. I fully expect that more will be raised when a decision has been taken on the location of the academy.
