HC Deb 28 November 1985 vol 87 cc627-8W
Mr. Hancock

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what information he has as to how long people have to wait before being admitted to courses of the Open University.

Mr. Walden

In recent years the majority of applicants have been offered places for the year for which they applied. Those unable to be offered a place for that year were offered a place in the subsequent year if they reapplied.
