§ Mr. McQuarrieasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will take steps to place the Institue of Chiropractics on the list of registered practitioners whose students may qualify for grants from local authorities during the period of their training; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeI know of no such list. Local education authorities have discretion at present to make grants to students of chiropractic. This would remain the case if the Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine were to recognise the profession under the Professions Supplementary to Medicine Act 1960.
