HC Deb 24 May 1999 vol 332 c19W
Dr. Gibson

To ask the Secretary of State for Health when he expects to publish his list of new medical student places. [85079]

Mr. Denham

Allocation of student places to universities in England is the responsibility of the Higher Education Funding Council for England. The Funding Council is working with my Department to produce recommendations for the allocation of additional medical student places, and an announcement is expected in the next few weeks.
