HC Deb 16 December 1954 vol 535 cc1963-4
33. Mrs. White

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations how many scholarships have been awarded since 1951 to enable students from Basutoland, Swaziland, and Bechuanaland, respectively, to study overseas.

Mr. Dodds-Parker

The information available shows that seven scholarships have been awarded since 1951, all to students from Basutoland. I am asking for confirmation of this figure from the High Commissioner for Basutoland, the Becthuanaland Protectorate and Swaziland.

Mrs. White

Could the hon. Gentleman say how much has been spent of the £6,000 or so that was set aside in 1951 for this purpose?

Mr. Dodds-Parker

Not without notice.
