HC Deb 16 November 1939 vol 353 c819
43. Mr. Harvey

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Education the reason for the reduction in the grants to students in the University of Reading; and whether reductions have been made by the Board in grants to students at other universities?

Mr. Lindsay

The Board have not reduced their grants to students at the University of Reading or at any other university except to the extent of adjusting the grants in the case of students who are called up under the National Service (Armed Forces) Act, 1939, so that the grant shall be proportionate to the period of attendance.
