asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many overseas students undertook full-time study in Scottish universities in each of the last five years; and how many were Commonwealth students.

Table 1 of returns from Universities and University Colleges published by the University Grants Committee gives information about the home residence of students for the years 1960–61 to 1963–64. The provisional figure for overseas students in Scottish universities in 1964–65 is 2,105 of whom 1,250 were from Commonwealth countries.
