HL Deb 16 May 1975 vol 360 c1009WA
Lord ORR-EWING

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What percentage of students and postgraduate students coming to this country from developing countries for courses return to their own countries at the end of their studies.

The MINISTER of STATE DEPARTMENT of EDUCATION and SCIENCE (Lord Crowther-Hunt)

I regret that this information is not available. The University Grants Committee however publishes an annual survey entitledFirst Destination of University Graduates. A copy of the latest issue, for the academic year 1972–73, is now in the Library. This shows the numbers returning overseas but does not distinguish either their country of origin or the country to which they return.
