§ 86. Mr. Wilson Harrisasked the Minister of Education why under the provisions for recognised students at training departments the day maintenance grant paid to women living at home is £12 a year less than is paid to men living at home.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe distinction is of long standing and was related to a difference in the capitation grants payable in respect of resident students at training colleges, which was in turn based on the difference in cost as between men's and 105W women's colleges. I am already considering in connection with other amendments of the Regulations the question of discontinuing this distinction.
