HC Deb 24 February 1966 vol 725 cc129-30W
Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proportion of Great Britain's medical college places are in Wales.

Mr. Prentice

About three per cent. of entry places.

Mr. Alan Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many medical college places are available annually in Wales; how many applicants there are for these places; and how many of these applicants are qualified for entry.

Mr. Prentice

The number of students admitted to the preclinical year in the University of Wales over the last three years has been: 1965–70, 1964–71, 1963–69. Building shortly to be started at Cardiff will provide for an increase to about 115. The Department has no statistics which would enable me to answer the last two parts of the Question.
