HC Deb 28 February 1957 vol 565 c203W
85. Mr. Chapman

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Education which local education authorities, other than the West Riding of Yorkshire, refuse to consider for university awards students who are studying for diploma courses, such as the L.D.S., and limit their scholarships to students taking degree courses.

Sir E. Boyle

I am not aware that any local education authority refuses as a matter of policy to consider for an award all students who are studying for diploma courses at universities. Applications for such awards are considered on their merits, and practice differs as regards particular courses and individual cases.

86. Mr. Chapman

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education to what scheme of major awards submitted by the West Riding of Yorkshire, limited entirely to students reading for degree courses, he has given approval.

Sir E. Boyle

Under the West Riding Authority's approved scheme major awards are not limited to students reading for degree courses. The scheme covers some university diploma courses but not others.
