Mr. Dubs

asked the Lord Privy Seal how many South African educationists have visited British educational establishments for each year since 1975; how many of these did so under British Council auspices.

Mr. Blaker

Information on the total number of visits in both the public and private sectors is not available without considerable research. Figures for officially sponsored visits, including those under British Council auspices, are as follows:

(a) Year (April to March) (b) Total number of visits (c) Number of visits in (b) under British Council auspices
1975–76 48 47
