HC Deb 08 April 1998 vol 310 cc335-6W
Dr. Lynne Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, pursuant to his oral statement of 16 March 1998,Official Report, column 962, what was the source of the statistics on participation in higher education in various constituencies. [37549]

Dr. Howells

The data quoted by the Secretary of State on 16 March was derived from the 1991 Census and was published by the Office for National Statistics in the "New Parliamentary Constituency Monitor" series. These do not measure participation in higher education; these data show the proportion of people with higher education qualifications in each constituency. Copies of these publications are available in the Library.
