HC Deb 02 December 1968 vol 774 cc356-7W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the total number of full-time students in the universities of the United Kingdom registered at 31st October, 1968, the total number of registered full-time students training to be teachers, other than in universities, at the same date, and the total number of students registered as reading for degrees in institutions of higher education other than universities at the same date, and the comparable figures at 31st October, 1967, and 31st October, 1964.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The information for the United Kingdom is given in the following table: —

managers of the Brownedge Roman Catholic Primary School, and the parents of the children in the area, at the delay in making further provision for this school in the 1968 building programme, what action he plans to take to deal with the problems raised by these bodies about the delay in educational provision.

Miss Bacon

Early next year I shall consider whether I can authorise the second instalment of the new Infants Department of St. Mary's Primary School. I cannot anticipate my decision which will depend on the relative merits of other proposals for minor works at aided schools and on the availability of resources.
