five years, namely, Oxford, Cambridge, London, Newcastle, Durham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull and Liverpool.

Mr. George Thomson

The percentages for the first six Universities named are shown on the attached table.

There were no entrants from the Universities of Leeds, Sheffield, Hull and Liverpool during the years 1962–66.

Mr. George Thomson

There were 187 applicants for the Administrative and Executive grades together from these seven Universities during the years 1962–66. Of these seven were successful. The breakdown of these figures is as follows.

Mr. Prentice

The main contract for the construction of the armament depot at Coulport was placed at approximately £3.3 million in June, 1964. Direct contracts placed by the M.P.B.W. for the associated electrical and mechanical work amount to £1.1 million. Allowing for additional requirements subsequently found to be necessary, I estimate the final cost on completion at £5.5 million.
