HC Deb 24 February 1967 vol 741 c358W
Mr. Longden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many unfilled vacancies for students there now are at colleges of education.

Mr. Crosland

For the current academic year the colleges once again admitted as many students as they possibly could. They took in some 33,400 new students—4,000 more than in the previous year and over 1,000 more than the number that in July, they had been planning to admit.
