I think the only exception between then and now has been John Major who didn't attend university, everyone else attended Oxford.

More significant surely is the number who did not go to university being so few, and the number of MPs nowadays who did not have a job beforehand outside the world of politics.
As to the possible future:
Gideon Osborne, Magdalen College, Oxford
Theresa May, St Hugh's College, Oxford
Jeremy Corbyn, London Metropolitan University (as known now)
Andy Burnham, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge.
Yvette Cooper, Balliol College, Oxford
