HC Deb 10 February 1981 vol 998 c318W
20. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how far the estimated demand in England and Wales for places in further education colleges exceeds the number of places available.

Mr. Macfarlane

The actual capacity of colleges is determined locally in response to the demands made upon them. My right hon. and learned Friend is confident that the colleges are doing everything possible to satisfy student demand.
