HC Deb 11 April 1983 vol 40 c340W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the annual amount of public funds forgone by virtue of reduced-rate fees for European Community students studying in the United Kingdom as compared with full-rate fees.

Mr. Waldegrave

In 1981–82, the latest year for which complete information is available, it is estimated that European Community students paid £5.2 million in home fees and that they would have paid £17.6 million if charged full overseas rates.
