§ Mr. Tony LloydTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what are his estimates of the number of full-time places in construction courses in further education in each academic year for the last 10 years.
§ Mr. BoswellThe number of places which colleges provide for particular courses is not centrally recorded. Students enrolled on full-time courses in construction, which are defined in standard FE statistics as courses in building, building services and site management, for each of the four years 1989–90 to 1992–93 are as listed in the table. In the academic year 1988–989 the subject groupings and definitions used by the Department were changed. Information on a comparable basis cannot therefore be provided for earlier years.
