asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she has given further consideration to the case for some further education facilities in Berwick in the light of representations made by the headmaster of Berwick High School; and whether, in the light of the emphasis she places on further education, she will take action to remedy the situation whereby there are no opportunities for it within 50 miles of Berwick.

The provision of further education facilities at Berwick-upon-Tweed will be reconsidered when the higher and further education major building programme for 1977–78 is reviewed in the summer.
