§ Mr. Lawrenceasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement about the application by the Architectural Association School of Architecture for designation of its courses for mandatory awards purposes.
§ Mr. WaldegraveAfter careful consideration my right hon. Friend decided to designate courses at the Architectural Association School of Architecture for mandatory awards purposes with effect from 1 September 1982, in order to bring the distinguished teaching provided by the school within the reach of more British students. The maximum fee payable to the school by local education authorities under the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations will be the same as that for university and maintained institutions—£480 in the academic year 1982–83.
