Mr. Peter Thomas

This information is not available.

Mr. John

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what are the present numbers of students in the Welsh National School of Medicine; and what is his estimate of the numbers who will be studying there in five years time.

Mr. Peter Thomas

I am informed that there are just under 500 students at the school at present. The number may rise to about 600 by 1976–77 but it is not yet possible to give a firm figure.
