HC Deb 07 April 1955 vol 539 cc126-7W
40. Mr. Blackburn

asked the Minister of Education to give an estimate of what would be the additional cost of paying the tuition fees of all State scholarship holders and making the necessary adjustments in parental contributions.

Sir D. Eccles

Full payment of the tuition fees of all State scholars would have cost the Exchequer about an additional £50,000 in the last financial year.
