§ Mrs. L. Jegerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education how many places for art students there are in technical schools, colleges and universities; how many there were a year ago; and how many are planned for the future.
§ Sir E. BoyleIn the academic year 1955-56 there were 11,515 full-time students in art schools and colleges and art departments in technical colleges. The figures for this year are not yet available. There is spare accommodation in a number of areas, but I have no precise details. Projects for ten art colleges and a number of art departments of technical colleges have been approved for starting in the period 1955-59. Some will replace existing premises and others will provide additional facilities for industrial design, printing and architecture. Corresponding information for the universities is not available.
