§ Mr. Neil MartenBetween 1971 and 1980, 78 such students arrived in this country on training awards under the British aid programme. Seven are known to have remained in the United Kingdom after their sponsored course.
Two of these are continuing training under private arrangements before returning to Nepal. Some of those who went back to Nepal after their sponsored course may have subsequently returned to the United Kingdom.
