§ Dr. HASTINGSasked the President of the Board of Education whether any maintenance scholarships are provided by his Department to secure for children from the secondary schools training for the medical and dental professions?
§ Mr. LEES-SMITHNo scholarships provided by the Board of Education are specifically earmarked for students proposing to be trained for the medical and dental professions; but 300 State scholarships are offered annually to pupils from grant-aided secondary schools to enable them to take up courses at universities for Honours Degrees, including those in medicine and dentistry, or preliminary science courses.
