§ Mr. Raymond S. RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what conditions are attached to the disposal of Exchequer-funded land and buildings by further education colleges in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe conditions will allow further education colleges to retain the proceeds of sale of Exchequer-funded land and buildings without reference to the annual supply procedures, within specified limits agreed by the Secretary of State. These conditions are among those set out in an amendment to the financial memorandum between the Department and each FE college board of management, a copy of which I will be placing in the Library.
