HC Deb 29 June 1976 vol 914 c105W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the percentage of undergraduates reading physics; and how this compares with the figure for 1966–67.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

In 1974–75, the latest academic year for which figures are available, the percentage of all full-time and sandwich course students reading physics for university or CNAA first degrees was 2.5. In 1966–67 the percentage was 3.3.
