HC Deb 02 June 1964 vol 695 c153W
Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what decisions have been taken to reduce the intake of Commonwealth and overseas students into British medical schools in the forthcoming academic year.

Mr. Hogg

The admission of students is the responsibility of the university institution concerned. So far as I am aware, no decision has been taken to reduce the intake of medical students from overseas.

Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many unfilled places there were in British medical schools, and where they were, at the latest date for which figures are available.

Mr. Hogg

The First Report of the University Central Council on Admissions shows the number of vacant places in medicine unfilled on 15th October, 1963, as five.
