HC Deb 09 July 1998 vol 315 c619W
24. Mr. Andrew George

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will assess the advantages of establishing a university campus in Cornwall. [48112]

Dr. Howells

I welcome the initiative taken by the three higher education institutions in Cornwall to form a new partnership to develop plans for improving the quality and range of higher education opportunities in Cornwall in conjunction with other interested bodies in the region. The first stage will be an assessment of the likely level of future demand for higher education opportunities in Cornwall.
