HC Deb 16 May 1978 vol 950 c99W
46. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans she has for encouraging a broader social structure among students of the Open University.

Mr. Oakes

My right hon. Friend greatly welcomes the efforts being made by the Open University through publicity, its advisory services, links with industry and the trade unions, and special short courses with wide appeal, to attract students from a broader range of social classes.
