§ Mr. Edward Short4,667 men and 1,607 women applied, through the Universities Central Council on Admissions,164W for admission in 1966 to medical studies in Great Britain. 1,052 men and 347 women were accepted. 5,590 men and 1,771 women applied for admission in 1967 and 1,745 men and 545 women were accepted. Altogether, 2,019 men and 636 women were finally admitted in 1967, which figures include applicants outside the U.C.C.A. scheme. A comparable figure for 1966 is not available. The 1967 figures include, for the first time, the London medical and dental schools and the Queen's University, Belfast. The figures for the two years are, therefore, not comparable.
