HC Deb 23 March 1959 vol 602 c88W
Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many overseas students are now studying at universities in the United Kingdom; and what are the numbers from each country.

Mr. Simon

In the academic year 1957–58 there were 10,162 full-time overseas students studying at universities in Great Britain. I understand that separate figures for each country will appear in the Commonwealth Universities Year Book, 1959, which is to be published shortly by the Association of Universities of the British Commonwealth.
