HC Deb 23 February 1955 vol 537 c174W
Captain Kerby

asked the Minister of Education why the basic sum of £30, which is paid to holders of State scholarships to universities, even if their parents have an income of £2,200 or more per year, is not also paid to the recipients of honorary State scholarships.

Sir D. Eccles

I take it that my hon. and gallant Friend is referring to the holders of university open awards which are supplemented by my Department. The answer is: because they already receive the honorarium which accompanies the open award.
