§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many people from Wales were studying at higher education institutions in the United Kingdom in(a) 1993–94 and (b) 1994–95; and if he will make a statement. [29032]
§ Mr. RichardsIn 1994–95, provisional data suggest that there were 48,228 full-time and sandwich Welsh domiciled higher education students in the United Kingdom. The data were collected by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
In 1993–94, only data for Welsh domiciled students at institutions in England and Wales are readily available. This total was 44,303 and represents the great majority of Welsh domiciled students. In 1994–95, only 556 Welsh domiciled students were at institutions in Scotland or Northern Ireland.
