§ 30. Dr. Hampsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what, in regard to her forecasts for higher education places in the non-university sector by 1981–82, she intends to be the share of the polytechnics and other public sector institutions, respectively.
§ Mr. OakesThese shares will depend on the evolution of detailed plans for individual institutions following the various mergers with former colleges of education now taking place. As my right hon. Friend explained in reply to a Question from my hon. Friend the Member for Lichfield and Tamworth (Mr. Grocott) on 17th January, we expect the polytechnics to make the major contribution towards the expansion of about 39 per cent. envisaged for higher education other than teacher training in the non-university sector by 1981–82.
