§ Mr. Deakinsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the average direct cost to public funds of each student aged 22, 23 and 24 years studying full-time for postgraduate qualifications in the latest year for which figures are available; and what was the comparable figure spent on other forms of education for these age groups.
§ Mr. BrookeThe information requested is not available, because expenditure by universities and other institutions on provision for postgraduate students is not separately identifiable, and is likely to vary widely according to the qualifications and subject concerned.
