§ Mr. Whiteheadasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) pursuant to his answer of 12 November, Official Report, c. 156, what number of (a) students and (b) staff underlie a staff-student ratio of 8.0: 1 in advanced further education in 1982–83;
(2) whether, pursuant to his answers of 12 November, Official Report, c. 156–157, the plans of Her Majesty's Government imply (a) an increase in staff numbers, (b) a decrease in student numbers or (c) a mixture of both, to achieve a staff-student ratio of 8.0: 1 in 1982–83.
§ Mr. WaldegraveIt is for the local authorities themselves, in consultation with their institutions, to determine how many lecturers they are going to employ, and how many students they are going to admit to advanced courses. As broad planning assumptions only, 194,000 full-time equivalent students and 24,100 full-time equivalent lecturers underlie the ratio of 8.0: 1. The equivalent figures for 1979–80 were 197,500 and 27,000 respectively, representing a ratio of 7.2: 1.
§ Mr. Philip Whiteheadasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will give figures for every local education authority in England for (a) its contribution to and (b) its receipts from the advanced further education pool in 1980–81 and 1981–82, respectively.
§ Mr. WaldegraveAllocations from and contributions to the predetermined advanced further education pool, as announced in December 1980, were as listed below. 41W Revised allocations in respect of years subject to a rolling process, along with allocations and contributions in respect of 1982–83, will be announced before the end of the year.
