HC Deb 07 November 1962 vol 666 cc76-7W
78. Mr. Woodburn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many students who have secured the necessary qualifications have been refused places in Scottish universities in each of the last three years.

Mr. Barber

The academic qualifications for admission vary from one university to another and according to the course selected so that it is not possible to provide the information requested. The universities have recently set up a central office for university admissions which will, in due course, provide statistics of the number of candidates in relation to the number of places available.
