§ 23. Mr. Markhamasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education what proportion of university students are now drawn from State-aided secondary schools; and what are the specific figures for Oxford and Cambridge and for other universities respectively?
Mr. LindsayI regret that complete figures relating to the secondary school origin of students at the universities are not available; but a forthcoming publication of the University Grants Committee will contain the numbers of students who began their education in a public elementary school.
§ Mr. MarkhamCan my hon. Friend say when this publication will be available?
§ Mr. Annerley SomervilleCan the Parliamentary Secretary say what is the proportion of such students at the universities?
§ Mr. MarkhamDoes that include all entrants to the universities, or only full-time students?
Mr. LindsayIt includes full-time students at universities in Great Britain who have come from State-aided secondary schools.
