Newton Rigg
Bosses of Newton Rigg College say claims made by Cumbrian peers about it and the sale of the agricultural college are ‘categorically untrue’ and misleading.
On Wednesday, former Workington MP Lord Dale Campbell-Savours spoke in the House of Lords and described its owners, Askham Bryan, as a ‘predator college’ and said the sale of the campus, near Penrith, was an ‘appalling betrayal’.
He told the house Newton Rigg was being sold by a team of Yorkshire accountants to pay off Askham Bryan College’s escalating debts.
Lord David Clark said: “Those who have been responsible for this outrage should hang their heads in shame as they now proceed to sell off its assets through estate agents Savills in a grand fire sale.”
