HC Deb 28 April 1948 vol 450 cc41-2W
26. Mrs. Manning

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many students from Cyprus undertook full-time courses of study in this country beginning in 1945, 1946 and 1947, respectively, and what subjects did they choose to study.

Mr. Mayhew

According to records available in the Colonial Office, the number of students from Cyprus pursuing full-time courses of study in this country for the academic years 1945, 1946 and 1947 were 81, 114, and 139, respectively. I am circulating a table showing the distribution of these students over the various courses of study.

Following is the table:
