§ 31. Miss Vickersasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many women from the Colonial Territories are in training in this country to become doctors, nurses, teachers, and social welfare workers; and from which territories they come.
§ Mr. Profumo164 for medical training; 4,652 for nursing; 286 for teacher training and thirty-nine for social welfare. They come from thirty-six different territories.
With permission, I will circulate a full table in the OFFICIAL REPORT.
§ Miss VickersWhile thanking my hon. Friend for that reply, may I ask if he thinks, in view of the fact that there are 13,000 students in this country from Colonial Territories, that women are getting their fair share of this work?
§ Mr. ProfumoI hope so.
