HC Deb 20 March 1930 vol 236 cc2085-6
62 Mr. EDE

asked the President of the Board of Education (1) in how many cases in each of the last three years persons taking up State scholarships were also awarded a college or university scholarship tenable at the place where they are holding their State scholarship;

(2) in how many cases in each of the last three years persons taking up State scholarships also received financial assistance from a local education authority towards the expenses of their course; and how many such persons also had a college or university scholarship;

(3) in how many cases in each of the last three years persons awarded State scholarships have declined them; and in how many such cases in each year were the scholarships declined because of the students' inability to bear the remainder of the cost of the desired university course?

Sir C. TREVELYAN

I shall be glad to send my hon. Friend the information for which he asks as soon as it is available.
