HC Deb 21 March 1989 vol 149 c527W
Mr. Hume

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if the survey of student income and expenditure as proposed in the recent White Paper "Top-up Loans for Students" will extend to Northern Ireland.

Dr. Mawhinney

No. The further survey is confined to Great Britain and follows an earlier similar exercise. However, future monitoring of the general effects of the new top up loans scheme will be on a United Kingdom basis.
