HC Deb 12 May 1965 vol 712 cc89-90W
Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many university places are expected to be available in Wales and how many in Scotland by 1968; and what proportion these figures represent of the numbers of population of university age in Wales and in Scotland at that date.

Mr. Crosland

Of the Robbins student target for the academic year 1967–68, for which the Government is planning, some 31,500 students are expected in Scottish university institutions and nearly 13,000 in Welsh university institutions. I am writing to my hon. Friend to explain why I cannot answer the second part of his Question.
