The question of the need for additional accommodation at the college was first mentioned in discussions with the college authorities in June 1981. Definite proposals were made in January 1983. Discussions have taken place since then in regard to the nature and extent of the college's requirements. As indicated in reply to Question No. 549 on 10 May 1984 the matter is now under examination and a decision will be expedited as much as possible.
