HC Deb 15 March 1962 vol 655 c177W
63. Mr. Malcolm MacPherson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many of the 31,671 students admitted to first degree courses in October, 1961, were full time; how many were part time; and what were the numbers of full-time and part-time students, respectively, who came from overseas.

Mr. Brooke

All 31,671 were full time; the precise number of these from overseas is not yet known. No statistics in respect of admissions to part-time study are available, but in the academic year 1960–61 about 2,400 part-time students were studying for first degree and first diploma courses.
