Mr Charles Morrison (Devizes): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many students graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic last year; how many have now been placed in employment; and how many are moving on to further studies.

Mr Evan Luard.

989 students, including those taking part-time courses,

graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic in July 1976. A

survey conducted between late September and early November 1976

showed that 758 graduates (76.6%) were in employment at that time

and that 179 graduates (18.1%) were undertaking further studies

locally or abroad. The remaining 52 (5.3%) were either

unemployed or their occupation was not known.
