HC Deb 11 February 1965 vol 706 c120W
58. Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Minister of Overseas Development what action has been taken to increase the number of places for Colonial students in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Oram

The needs of suitably qualified Colonial students for places in educational institutions and for courses of practical and professional training in Britain are fully recognised and my Ministry is in close and continuous touch with other Departments and with the institutions concerned to ensure that this position is maintained. The number of qualified candidates is increasing from year to year and in general no difficulty is experienced in finding places for them.
