To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many veterinary students from abroad came to(a) study and (b) work in the United Kingdom in each of the last five years.

Mr. Jackson

The total number of full-time and sandwich veterinary science students with overseas domicile in universities in Great Britain in each of the last five years, is:

Undergraduate Postgraduate

1984 51 117
1985 61 126

While students "see practice" as part of their veterinary courses, they may actually practice only after qualification and subsequent registration with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.
