HC Deb 06 February 1947 vol 432 c386W
Sir E. Graham-Little

asked the Minister of Education what is now the total number of ex-Service men and women training in the emergency colleges; and what proportion do they bear to the whole number of students in these colleges.

Mr. Hardman

All the students admitted to Emergency Training Colleges have been engaged in some form of wartime national service. Of the students actually in training at the latest date for which figures are available, 5,055 men (80 per cent.) and 485 women (19.6 per cent.) had served in one or other of His Majesty's Forces.
