HC Deb 04 April 1995 vol 257 c1030W
Sir David Steel

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to(a) receive and (b) act upon the report from the chairman of the board of his inquiry held in January into staff discontent at Borders college. [17410]

Mr. Lang

The board of management of Borders college has carried out a review into matters of concern raised by lecturers' unions and a report has been submitted to the Scottish Office Education Department. Discussions between my officials and the chairman of the board of management and the college principal have taken place. Further investigations are under way. I will write to the right hon. Member when these are completed.
