HC Deb 15 May 2000 vol 350 cc5-6W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many people resident in the Cheltenham constituency have(a) applied for, (b) been accepted into and (c) graduated from full-time courses in higher education in each of the last 10 years for which figures are available. [122004]

Mr. Wicks

The available data for 1998–99 and 1999–2000 are given in the following table; the data on student postcodes from which these figures are derived is not sufficiently complete to allow similar figures to be produced for earlier years.

Academic year Entrants Graduates
1998–99 920 710
1999–2000 905 1n/a
