§ Mr. Loveridgeasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many departments of business studies there are in universities in the United Kingdom; and how many are planned to be opened in the next five years.
§ Mr. Gerry FowlerThere are 25, including separate institutions or centres. There are no plans at present for establishing new departments, but provision has been made in the 1972–77 quinquennium for a substantially faster rate of expansion of places in business studies than the average rate of growth for university places as a whole.
