HC Deb 11 May 1967 vol 746 c265W
31. Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will send a circular to educational establishments, including universities, reminding them that they have no authority to make the payment of grants to students, made under the authority of his Department, conditional on the students undergoing particular medical procedures.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

No. University authorities may satisfy themselves about the health of a student before allowing him to attend a course, and the payment of grant is related to attendance.
