To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what official engagements were undertaken by the hon. Member for Stratford-on-Avon (Mr. Howarth) during his visit to the west midlands on 30 January.

Mr. Alan Howarth

As sponsor Minister for the Birmingham city action team and the East Birmingham task force, I visited the Hodge Hill access centre, based at Hodge Hill girls' school in Birmingham, and attended a special meeting of the Birmingham city action team at the Birmingham area office of the Employment services in New street. In the afternoon, I visited Coventry polytechnic, particularly the department of health sciences and the department of mechanical engineering and held meetings with academics and students.
