HC Deb 08 November 1971 vol 825 cc98-9W
Mr. William Edwards

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students offered places in technical colleges in Wales have been refused permission to go to these colleges by their local education authorities; and what attempts have been made to co-ordinate acceptance for courses at technical colleges by college authorities with local authorities.

Mr. van Straubenzee

Information is not available regarding the number of students offered places and refused permits to attend the college of their choice. Cases are dealt with by authorities on individual merit.
