§ Mr. Michael Brownasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects to announce the results of his Department's study of a system of student loans; if he proposes to introduce them; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonMy right hon. and learned Friend is actively considering the subject of student loans and will be taking account of the experience of other countries in this field.
