HC Deb 17 October 1972 vol 843 c61W
Mr. John Page

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the number of Under-Secretaries and equivalent ranks in the Civil Service who were educated at Oxford and Cambridge and the number of entrants into the Civil Service through Oxford and Cambridge who were educated, respectively, at independent schools, direct-grant schools and maintained schools.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The number of Under-Secretaries in the Home Civil Service who were educated at Oxford and Cambridge is 231.

I regret that the rest of the information is not available and to obtain it would incur disproportionate cost.
