HC Deb 15 November 1991 vol 198 c693W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many undergraduates from the United Kingdom were attending courses in(a) EC countries and(b) non-EC countries in each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Howarth

Estimates prepared by the United Kingdom Erasmus Student Grants Council show that, in academic year 1990–91, some 4,800 United Kingdom domiciled students were studying under ERASMUS arrangements in a higher education institution of another EC member state as part of their United Kingdom undergraduate course.

Information on other United Kingdom students studying abroad is not available centrally.
