§ Mr. TrickettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what proportion of the residents of (a) Wakefield District and (b) Hemsworth constituency have degree-level educational qualifications. [109055]
§ Mr. WicksThe available published data from the 1991 Census of Population show that the proportion of people aged 18 and over with higher education qualifications was 13.3 per cent. in Wakefield, and 10.3 per cent. in Hemsworth. A higher education qualification is defined as any academic, professional or vocational qualification above A-level standard. The published census data do not separately identify persons who have degree-level qualifications. Similar data will be available when the results of the 2001 Census are published.
