HC Deb 20 June 1984 vol 62 c186W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of lecturers in further and higher education have full-time contracts.

Mr. Brooke

Lecturers in further and higher education are not classified by the Department's statistics in respect of their terms of contract. In the academic year 1982–83 there were 74,476 full-time lecturers in further education in England and 41,994 in universities in Great Britain. Part-time lecturers numbered 21,937—full-time equivalent—and 2,266, respectively. These numbers do not reflect contractual status.
