HC Deb 05 May 1982 vol 23 cc85-6W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students were studying at (a) polytechnics and (b) colleges of further education in October 1981; what were the figures for October 1975 and October 1970; what were the funds allocated to these institutions for each of these dates at constant prices; and how much per head per student this represents in each case.

results in 1960–61 and 1970–71 were 72.6 and 44.5 per cent. respectively. Comparable figures for earlier years are not available.
