§ Mr. EdwardsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many places to study veterinary medicine will be available in England and Wales in(a) 2001, (b) 2005 and (c) 2010. [6557]
§ Margaret HodgeWe do not have forecasts of the number of veterinary science places for 2001, 2005 or 2010.
The current number of students (December 2000) is as follows:
1180W
Veterinary science students Number Postgraduate (PG) Full-time 200 Part-time 100
Veterinary science students Number Undergraduate (UG) Full-time 2,100 Part-time 50 Total 2,500 Note:
Figures do not sum due to rounding. Figures are normally rounded to the nearest 1,000 students, but in this case have been rounded to the nearest 50, as figures are so small.
