HC Deb 26 May 1971 vol 818 cc182-3W
Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealh Affairs whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of the arrangements being made by the Government to safeguard students from East Pakistan at present studying in Great Britain who may be denied funds from home as a result of the present crisis.

Mr. Wood

The Pakistan High Commission is giving immediate financial assistance to all students from East Pakistan who are studying here and fail to receive funds from home. Any students in difficulty are being advised to approach the educational authorities in the High Commission. The High Commission should take the responsibility for these students, and I have seen no evidence that it is not discharging it adequately.
