§ Mr. Dubsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students from Cyprus are currently studying at universities in England and Wales; and what were the numbers for each of the last 10 years.
§ Dr. BoysonInformation for the current academic year in respect of the country of origin of overseas students is not yet available. Figures for the previous 10 years are given below and relate to both undergraduates and postgraduates. Until 1974–75 they are for United Kingdom universities, as figures for England and Wales are not readily available. However, the differences are not likely to be great as there were only 10 students from Cyprus at universities in Scotland and Northern Ireland in 1974–75.
