HC Deb 15 July 1981 vol 8 c381W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many university courses in Great Britain are at present under-subscribed.

Dr. Boyson

This information is not available because universities do not maintain definite entry targets for each course. The annual report of the Universities Central Council on Admissions contains information each year on the numbers of applications and acceptances to study in individual subject areas for all universities combined.

Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many university courses are duplicated at neighbouring (a) universities and (b) polytechnics and colleges of further and higher education.

Dr. Boyson

This information is not available.
