§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which countries outside the Eurodice network are being asked to answer the questionnaire on student support issued by his Department as part of the review of student support; and whether he is satisfied that the questionnaire is comprehensive for the purposes of making meaningful international comparisons.
§ Mr. WaldenThe questionnaire referred to was issued before the review of student support was announced, and was concerned only with the level of social security benefits and indirect support to students in countries covered by Eurodice. The information it yields will clearly have to be brought together with up-to-date information on support via grants and loans before meaningful international comparisons can be attempted.
