HC Deb 20 April 1978 vol 948 cc296-7W
Mr. Warren

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will give the percentage of self-supporting students at university divided into home and overseas students during the years 1970–71, 1976–77, and 1977–78.

Mr. Oakes

The latest information available is for 1975–76, when it is estimated that of all full-time and sandwich course students at universities in Great Britain about 5 per cent. of home students and about 50 per cent. of overseas students were self-supporting. Figures are not available for 1970–71.
