HC Deb 19 February 1969 vol 778 c127W
Mr. Emery

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he has taken on the special allocation of a sum for distribution either by the University Grants Committee, or by another body, which might be applied for specifically by disabled students attending universities.

Mr. Edward Short

I fully sympathise with the hon. Member's concern for these students, but I am not aware of a need for a special fund. I shall be glad to consider any proposals the hon. Member may put to me.
