Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Mark Lazarowicz (Labour and Co-operative Party), on Wednesday, 24 June 2009, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 15 members in total.


EDINBURGH'S TELFORD COLLEGE

That this House expresses its concern at the threatened redundancies at Edinburgh's Telford College, which include both lecturers and support staff; notes that this is against a background of a sharp rise in applications for courses there; further notes that amongst those at risk of being made redundant are lecturers in business and trades which have proved particularly popular at a time when proper provision for the unemployed to retrain and improve their skills is vital; and urges the governing board of Telford College to reconsider the proposals and work constructively with staff and trade union representatives to find other means of resolving the present funding crisis.
