Former Principal Of Gwent Tertiary College

EDM number 515 in 1998-99, proposed by Llew Smith on 31/03/1999.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
