asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the expected per capita expenditure per student at English polytechnics in session 1975–76.

The recurrent cost—excluding student support—for a polytechnic student in England and Wales in the financial year 1975–76 is estimated to be about £1,420 at November 1974 prices.

This figure averages the cost of all types and levels of course, with part-time students assessed as their full-time equivalent. A similar figure for English polytechnics alone is not readily available but would not vary greatly from that for England and Wales.
