HC Deb 18 July 1957 vol 573 c1312
4. Mr. C. Hughes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education how many State studentships in arts and science, respectively, have been granted to students in each of the four constituent colleges of the University of Wales.

Sir E. Boyle

My Department is concerned only with postgraduate State studentships in arts subjects. The process of making these awards cannot be completed until all the candidates' degree results are known.

Mr. Hughes

Can the Parliamentary Secretary give an assurance that the University of Wales will be no worse off in regard to these State studentships now that they are granted by the Ministry of Education and not by the university authorities in Wales?

Sir E. Boyle

At this stage I cannot forecast what the final number of successful candidates from the University of Wales will be for my Department's awards, but I will bear in mind the point that the hon. Member has made.
