Anne and colleagues The problem with time-series data is that, until 1994/95 onwards, there was no consistency of definitions across the various constituent parts of either the UK or the HE sector. And ethnicity data, for example, wasn't routinely collected until 1994/5. Some fairly high level comparative statistics since then are available through our web site, and we have also contributed to an annual review in the THES in which some statistics are, with lots of caveats, forced into time series. The latest of these was September 1998, and should be available on their web site.
