HC Deb 18 February 1981 vol 999 cc115-6W
Mr. O'Neill

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish for each university in receipt of grant from the University Grants Committee the number of full-time undergraduate and post-graduate home and overseas students in each university during the current academic year.

Dr. Boyson

Reliable information in respect of individual universities for the current academic year is not yet available. For provisional estimates of total full-time student numbers in October 1980 in United Kingdom universities I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Hemel Hempstead (Mr. Lyell) on 2 December.
