EDINBURGH'S TELFORD COLLEGE
EDM number 1744 in 2008-09, proposed by Mark Lazarowicz on 24/06/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Further education.
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.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
