Joanna Tuffy (Labour)

I move amendment No. 3:

In page 10, line 14, after "State" to insert the following:

"and in particular of the region served by the college".

The provisions herein are needed because the regional and local roles of institutes of technology are more important than the role of universities. I would like institutes to devote more attention to addressing the problems of social exclusion and inequality in pockets of extreme deprivation, such as RAPID areas and elsewhere. The roles of the institutes should be recognised.
