§ Baroness BlatchThree city technology colleges are up and running and a further nine are due to open in 1990 and 1991. Up to the end of the 1989-90 financial year, the Department of Education and Science had spent £46-6m on the CTC programme, covering project start-up costs, capital and recurrent funding. Up to this date, sponsors had made payments totalling £4-05m. Sponsors' contributions relate only to capital costs and are frequently phased on a covenanted basis.
