HC Deb 17 November 1992 vol 214 cc166-7W
13. Mr. Campbell-Savours

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what information he has available to him as to the proportion of sixth formers in Cumbria going on to attend university.

Mr. Forman

More than 1,200 students from Cumbria entered universities in Great Britain and polytechnics and colleges in England in 1990–91. This represented nearly 20 per cent. of the young adult population in Cumbria, and was very similar to national participation races for that year.
