§ Dr. Alan Glynasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what criteria are demanded by the Summerson Committee before granting an educational institution the right to grant a diploma in art and design; and if he is satisfied that there are sufficient places available for suitable students.
§ Mr. HoggOn the criteria adopted, I would refer my hon. Friend to the First110W Report of the Summerson Council, a copy of which I am sending him. Last year there were 1,480 places, and 1,400 students were accepted as suitable for admission. This year there are likely to be at least 1,800 places. Results of this year's applications for entry are not yet available, but I do not at present expect that the number of places will prove to be insufficient for the suitable students applying.
