HC Deb 14 March 1946 vol 420 cc252-3W
93. Mr. Hogg

asked the Minister of Education whether her attention has been called to the delay in payment of grants to men discharged. from His Majesty's Forces as undergraduates and students at Oxford University; and what steps she proposes to take to minimise the delay.

98. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Education if she is aware of the discontent among demobilised students who have resumed their studies under the Further Education and Training Scheme for Teachers, occasioned by the delay in paying the grants; and what steps she is taking to expedite payments.

Miss Wilkinson

Yes, Sir. I am very anxious to reduce delays in the payment of grants, and I hope that recent increases in the clerical staff in my Department will have this effect.
