HC Deb 18 November 1969 vol 791 c297W
Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of the employed 16 to 18 age group were released for the equivalent of at least one day a week to attend a college.

Mr. Fowler

The percentages of these aged 16 to 18 years in employment who attended part-time day release courses in Great Britain in November 1968 was 35.6 per cent. men, 7.5 per cent. women, and 21.4 per cent. men and women. These percentages exclude students attending sandwich courses and any others allowed by their employers to attend full-time courses.
