HC Deb 22 November 1985 vol 87 c330W
Mr. Ewing

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he now intends to abandon his review of student grants.

Mr. Allan Stewart

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science announced on 12 November at column113 that he had concluded that no useful purpose would be served by the publication of a consultative document about student support. My right hon. Friend was fully involved in that decision, and does not propose to undertake separate consultations in Scotland.
