HC Deb 11 November 1998 vol 319 cc238-9W
Mr. Webb

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many course vacancies existed in the institutions engaged in the UCAS scheme immediately following the UCAS clearing procedure in(a) Autumn 1998, (b) Autumn 1997, (c) Autumn 1996 and (d) Autumn 1995. [58979]

Mr. Mudie

Although throughout clearing Universities and Colleges notify UCAS which courses have vacancies and these appear in the national press and elsewhere, they do not declare the number of vacancies. Figures for the number of vacancies are therefore not available centrally.
