HC Deb 14 July 1955 vol 543 c198W
66. Mr. Slater

asked the Minister of Education his policy regarding students who are not successful with their application to enter college this year; and what assistance his Department gives in having such pupils placed.

Sir D. Eccles

I encourage authorities to select the best candidates available to them. I am glad that they are able this year to choose from a wider field and that there will also be more students in the colleges than ever before.
