§ Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Education to state, for each of the last ten years, the numbers of open scholarships awarded at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, respectively, the numbers of those awarded open scholarships who gained first, second, and third-class honours degrees and the numbers who failed to pass their final examinations, respectively, and the number of awards of open scholarships prematurely terminated for academic reasons and for other reasons, respectively.
§ Sir D. Eccles:I do not have all the information for which the hon. Member asks. In my Answer of 1st December, 1960, I gave him particulars of the classes of honours gained, and of the failures, by holders of State Scholarships and supplemental State Scholarships at Oxford and Cambridge during the five years for which figures were available.
