HONOURABLE MEMBER FOR FALMOUTH AND CAMBORNE AND THE CAMBORNE SCHOOL OF MINES

22 February 20006 Signatures

Motion Text

That this House, recognising the world wide reputation, established over many generations, of the Camborne School of Mines, is dismayed by the proposal to relocate this unique Cornish institution elsewhere; regards this unnecessary move as a devastating blow to the economic and social future of the town of Camborne, with which it has been so famously associated for its whole lifetime; regrets that the honourable Member for Falmouth and Camborne has not supported the continuation of this vital facility in this community in the interests of the whole county; and calls on everyone in Cornwall, whilst welcoming the revised proposals for a university college, to vigorously oppose this particular feature of the plan.
