(2) if he will list, for the latest year available, the figures for the income per student at the following polytechnics (a) Birmingham, (b) Bristol, (c) Leeds, (d) Leicester, (e) Liverpool, (f) Manchester, (g) Newcastle, (h) Nottingham (Trent), (i) Oxford and (j) Sheffield under the headings (i) income from the advanced further education pool, (ii) direct income from the local education authority in which the institution is located, (iii) endowments, (iv) investment income, (v) fees, (vi) research councils and (vii) other research and consultancy funding; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BrookeThe available information is as follows. The figures take no account of the subject mix (and therefore cost) of students in individual institutions. For this and other reasons, including accounting differences, it is not possible readily to compare them.

These figures are for those components of income that are separately identified in returns made by local authorities, and their total, alongside the total recurrent expenditure per student of each polytechnic. The differences between columns v and vi are largely accounted for by income from maintaining authorities, but may also include inter-authority payments and income from other sources.
