Margaret Hodge

[holding answer 13 December 2001]: Cambridge and Oxford Universities have published information on admissions for entry in 2001 from both the maintained and independent sector, disaggregated by college. The relevant extracts are in the table. The universities are responsible for the accuracy of this information. Further disaggregation is not held centrally.

We recognise and welcome the efforts made by both universities to widen participation, and urge them to continue this important work.
