§ Mr. Brooke[pursuant to his reply, 23 April 1985, c. 439]: I regret that the information given in my earlier answer was incorrect. I understand from the Science and Engineering Research Council that studentships do not divide simply into either mechanical or electrical engineering. Consequently, the numbers of research and advanced course postgraduate studentships have been re-examined and a fuller presentation should be as follows:
Mechanical* engineering Electrical †engineering 1978–79 117 177 1979–80 109 182 1980–81 65 167 1981–82 61 151 1982–83 86 176 1983–84 101 499 1984–85 125 541 * Includes Production Engineering. † Includes Electronic Engineering and those Specialist and Conversion Advanced courses supported by SERC's Information Engineering Committee. Comparable figures are not yet available for 1985–86.
