HC Deb 18 February 1954 vol 523 cc240-1W
Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education what representations have been made by her Department to local education authorities concerning the remission in part or in total of past loans to students training to be teachers.

Miss Horsbrugh

None. Authorities are, I think, well aware of the position, which is that, whilst any general remission of loans would be of doubtful legal propriety, it is open to them to consider total or partial remission on the merits of any particular case.
