HC Deb 14 February 1978 vol 944 c188W
31. Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she will publish the number of vacancies in colleges of further education.

Mr. Oakes

The only information which is available relates to those advanced courses, other than teacher training, where first-year admissions fell short of the nominal vacancies. The figure in October 1977 was nearly 7,000 for full-time courses and a similar number for part-time. Figures for non-advanced courses are not collected by my Department.
