asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the total number of places in the engineering departments of British universities at the beginning of the current academic year; and how many were unfilled.

Mr. Crosland

In October, 1964, there were 19,964 full time students in university faculties of technology. According to the Second Report of the Universities Central Council on Admissions (U.C.C.A.), published today, universities in Great Britain (excluding Oxford and Cambridge) planned to admit in October, 1964, 5,610 students to study technology; the number admitted was 420 less than this.
