HC Deb 15 December 1983 vol 50 c534W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many places he estimates will be available for the 59,259 applicants for university places before 15 November; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

My right hon. Friend estimates that there will be between 70,000 and 74,000 places for new entrant home undergraduates in universities in the academic year 1984–85.
