FORMER PRINCIPAL OF GWENT TERTIARY COLLEGE

Early day motion 515, tabled 31 March 1999 by Llew Smith (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House notes that when the previous Principal of Gwent Tertiary College, Sue Parker, was appointed to that position, the College was financially sound, yet within a short period, was facing debts of approximately ú7 million, because, as recognised in the recent National Audit Office Report, of her mismanagement; regrets that, instead of her dismissal, she was awarded approximately ú50,000, on agreeing to terminate her employment; is shocked that after almost destroying Gwent Tertiary College, she has now been appointed to a senior position with the EDEXEL Foundation, who are the examining and awarding body for colleges throughout England and Wales; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to investigate her appointment to EDEXEL as a matter of urgency.
