Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many students studied higher education in further education colleges in each constituency in each of the last five years.
Information by constituency can only be provided at disproportionate cost. Region-level statistics on enrolments in higher education at further education colleges have been provided as an alternative. The statistics are based on data held by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), and refer to the academic years 2011/12 to 2013/14. Information for the latest two academic years is not yet available.
