HC Deb 05 December 1958 vol 596 cc178-80W
Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of places in universities and university colleges has been allotted to overseas students in each of the last three years for which information is available.

Mr. Simon

The proportion of places in universities and university colleges in Great Britain taken up by oversea students in each of the academic years 1955–56, 1956–57 and 1957–58 was 11 per cent. No places are specifically allotted to oversea students.
