asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are his plans for the future of Jordanhill College School.

My right hon. Friend is consulting further with the governing body of the college about the school's function and its future.

Is not my hon. Friend aware of the acute worry which the long delay in deciding the future of the school is causing in the area which I represent? Why does not he set this worry at rest by simply allowing the school, which is held in high esteem, to continue its good work, as it did before the right hon. Member for Kilmarnock (Mr. Ross) interfered?

I am well aware of the feeling of the parents in this matter, and I am anxious that the issue should be resolved as soon as possible. It is because I recognise the valuable contribution that the school has made to education in Glasgow that I regard it as specially important that the right decision should be taken.
