asked the Minister of Labour the number of Class B releases granted to university students at Oxford, Cambridge and at each of the provincial universities up to 31st October last.

I regret that this information is not readily available. Figures showing the number of university students released in Class B are provided by the Service Departments, but no record is kept to show the universities to which the students will return.

asked the Minister of Labour the number of students in the following categories who have been released from the Services up to 1st November: law, engineering, theology, architecture, medicine and surveying.

I regret that this information is not available. Figures showing the number of University students released in Class B are provided by the Service Departments, but no record is kept of the subject which each student will study at his University.

asked the Minister of Labour if he will inquire into the case, details of which have been submitted to him, of a student who has been one year in the Army and who has secured an exhition scholarship admitting him to a university and let the authorities know when this man may expect his release under Class B.

Release of students in Class B is confined to men in Groups up to 49, that is with about three years' service, and the student referred to is therefore not eligible for release in Class B.
