§ Mr. Hastingsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of the cost of medical education in England and Wales is paid by taxation.
§ Sir S. CrippsThese figures are only available for London as in that case the medical schools receive separate allocations of grants. In 1946–47, the latest year for which figures are available, approximately 55 per cent. of their cost was met by Exchequer grants. This figure takes no account of financial assistance given from the Exchequer to individual medical students.
