asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students have now registered in the Open University since its inception.

Mr. van Straubenzee:

In 1971, about 24,000 students registered provisionally and about 19,000 finally. For 1972, a further 20,500 students registered provisionally. Final registration figures will not be available until later this month but are expected to be between 15,000 and 16,000.
