Douglas Alexander MP

Labour MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire South

Under new plans being drawn up by the SNP Scottish Government the number of colleges could be slashed by more than a third and at our local Reid Kerr college almost 5oo student places are set to be cut in August.

The courses being slashed range from Mechanical Engineering to Fabrication and Welding, from Electronics to Architecture. At a time when almost 1,000 local young people have now been without a job for over six months these cuts are stripping away opportunity and hope from our area.

Now is the time to be training these young people with the skills they require, for the jobs they need and our economy needs.
