§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he will announce his decision on the final location of the Scottish Consultative Council on the Curriculum; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Michael Forsyth[holding answer 19 November 1991]: The Scottish Consultative Council on the 336W Curriculum is currently preparing an assessment of its accommodation needs, in accordance with arrangements agreed in March 1988. Meanwhile the Government's position remains as described in my letter of 17 March 1988 to the chairman of the governors of Northern college which stated that the location of the council's offices would be reviewed after three years and which expressed the expectation that the business of the council would then become centralised on the Dundee premises of the college. My right hon. Friend expects to receive the council's views shortly, and to make a decision on the matter at an early date thereafter.
