Mr. Brooke
[pursuant to his reply, 23 April 1985, c. 439]: I regret that the information given in my earlier answer was incorrect. I understand from the Science and Engineering Research Council that studentships do not divide simply into either mechanical or electrical engineering. Consequently, the numbers of research and advanced course postgraduate studentships have been re-examined and a fuller presentation should be as follows:
| Mechanical* engineering | Electrical †engineering | |
| 1978–79 | 117 | 177 |
| 1979–80 | 109 | 182 |
| 1980–81 | 65 | 167 |
| 1981–82 | 61 | 151 |
| 1982–83 | 86 | 176 |
| 1983–84 | 101 | 499 |
| 1984–85 | 125 | 541 |
| * Includes Production Engineering. | ||
| † Includes Electronic Engineering and those Specialist and Conversion Advanced courses supported by SERC's Information Engineering Committee. | ||
