§ 27. Miss Baconasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education how many students applied for entry to training colleges in 1956; and how many were admitted.
§ Sir E. BoyleThe information asked for in the first part of the Question is not available. 12,590 students were admitted last autumn and about 250 more this month.
§ Miss BaconCan the hon. Gentleman say whether or not the number requiring to enter training colleges exceeds the number actually able to enter the colleges?
§ Sir E. BoyleAs I am sure the hon. Lady will realise, the difficulty is that there is no central register of applications. That is the trouble.
