HC Deb 28 April 1969 vol 782 cc945-6
59. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will state the number and sex of students admitted to each of the Scottish universities during each of the last five years and the number and sex of careers advisory officers appointed and now working in those universities.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

For information about student numbers, I would refer my hon. and learned Friend to the reply I gave him on 24th April. Universities are responsible for their own staff appointments and the information requested in the second part of the Question is not collected centrally.—[Vol. 782, c. 105–6.]

Mr. Hughes

Is the career guidance sufficient, having regard to the terms and recommendations of the Heyworth Report and the increase in the number of students at Aberdeen University?

Mrs. Williams

I can only suggest that my hon. and learned Friend approaches Aberdeen University directly, since it is responsible and not me.
