asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what are the current student populations in each of Scotland's teacher training colleges, the number of students that each college could accommodate, and the number of teaching and non-teaching staff currently in post in each institution.

The information available centrally is as follows:completion, the value of extensions built since completion date and when these extensions were added and, in each case, the amount of student residential accommodation available.

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he expects any further reduction in the number of students entering Scottish teacher training colleges in the next three years.

In view of the continuing decline in the school population it is unlikely that the overall intakes to pre-service courses of teacher training in the next three sessions will be as high as that for session 1979–80.
