Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students of British nationality are meeting the full costs of their tuition fees and accommodation from their own personal resources at both undergraduate and postgraduate level during the present academic year.

Mr. Brooke

Information relating to nationality is not available. In 1982–83, the latest year for which information is available, the number of full-time students at British universities, paying fees at the home rate, who were self-supporting was as follows:

Numbers per cent.
Undergraduates 7,118 3.0
