University And Polytechnic Places (Cost)

Mr. Brotherton
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the current average cost of a university place and a polytechnic place; what proportion of that cost is paid for directly by overseas students; and how this compares with the figure five years ago.

Dr. Boyson
