Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she expects that a decision will be reached on pre-licence application SPL5298000134 made by Bridgend College Coleg Penybont on 2 July 2014; and if she will make a statement.

This is a complex application in relation to a publicly funded college also seeking to run privately funded courses and we need to ensure the correct educational oversight has been provided for all courses.

There are a number of outstanding enquiries with the college that need to be resolved before a decision can be made. My officials have been back in contact with the college on 22 June and have asked for a response to be provided by 29 June, at which point my officials will contact the Honourable Lady directly to provide an update.
