HC Deb 12 June 1947 vol 438 cc140-1W
83. Mr. K. Lindsay

asked the Minister of Education how many students entered universities and university colleges in the sessions 1946 and 1947, respectively, who were in receipt of further education grants.

Mr. Tomlinson

It is not possible without an undue expenditure of time and labour to answer the Question in the form in which it is asked. During the session 1945–46 approximately 8,000 awards were made under the Further Education and Training Scheme to enable students to attend universities and university colleges. Since the beginning of the session 1946–47 a further 11,800 awards have been made.
