§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the reduction in the current expenditure of Dundee university following the Government's revised expenditure plans in 1981–82.
§ Dr. BoysonThe recurrent grant for Dundee university for the academic year 1981-82 will be determined in due course on the advice of the University Grants Committee.
§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the number of applications made for places at Dundee university for session 1981–82 from overseas students; and how this compares with the number of overseas students attending Dundee university in each of the past three years.
§ Dr. BoysonIn the last three academic years for which information is available, the numbers of overseas students in all years of their course attending Dundee university were as follows:
undergraduate postgraduate 1977–78 195 154 1978–79 207 202 1979–80 171 159 Reliable information in respect of individual universities for 1980–81 is not yet available. Not all applications for entry in 1981–82 have yet been received, and in any case it is not the policy of the Universities Central Council on Admissions to issue figures in respect of individual universities. I would suggest that the hon. Member apply directly to the university if he requires further information.
