§ Mr. Iain MacleodI have been asked to reply.
Introduction courses for overseas students are provided here each autumn by the British Council. Special courses are held in London for Commonwealth scholars and bursars. The total of attendances has doubled within the last three years. The British Council also encourage institutions of higher education to arrange their own courses. The Council will do all it can in co-operation with the educational authorities to expand this work within the limits of manpower and funds available.
