HC Deb 20 November 1952 vol 507 cc203-4W
127. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education to state the number of local education authorities in England and Wales, respectively, who have reduced the amount of grant awarded to students proceeding to the university.

Miss Horsbrugh

Only two authorities, both in England, have so far submitted schemes involving general reduction in rates of grant. In one case the reductions were substantial. I am taking the matter up with the authority concerned.
