GWENT TERTIARY COLLEGE

Early day motion 881, tabled 4 March 1998 by Llew Smith (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House expresses its concern at the decision of the governors of Gwent Tertiary College to employ a personnel consultant at a cost of ú400 a day, in addition to the ú650 a day it paid to another consultant; is disturbed that millions of pounds of European funds were misused; asks for all the reports into the college to be made public; recognises the uncertainty both students and staff at the college face as a result of all the investigations; and calls on the Secretary of State to sack the governors and make the management of further education colleges more open, accountable and representative of the communities they serve.
