§ Dr. Hampsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the latest departmental estimate of the number of students in universities in 1977–78, 1978–79 and 1979–80.
§ Mr. OakesThe published estimate of students numbers in higher education is given in the White Paper on Public Expenditure to 1979–80 (Cmnd. 6393). My Department will shortly be consulting those concerned on revised projections and the division of the total between universities and the rest of higher education.
