HC Deb 18 July 1996 vol 281 c664W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what statistics he collates on the number and percentage of graduates obtaining employment after leaving Northern Ireland higher education establishments. [37205]

Mr. Ancram

Data on the first destinations of students qualifying at higher education institutions throughout the United Kingdom are collated by the Higher Education Statistics Agency, and the standard tabulation breaks employment into paid full-time permanent employment in the UK, other employment in the UK, and employment overseas. Further breakdowns by age, sex, subject of study, standard industrial classification of employer, standard occupational classification, and geographical region of employment can be produced.
