asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make provisions for building to commence of the new college of training which has been planned by the West Riding County Council Education Committee to replace the Swinton Day Teachers Training College, so that the latter can be used as a comprehensive school for which it was built several years ago.

Because of the measures for the deferment of capital expenditure which were announced by the Government on 27th July last, the start of work on the new buildings approved for the college has had to be postponed.
