HC Deb 01 February 1956 vol 548 c116W
76. Mrs. White

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what arrangements are being made for the welfare of colonial students in Scotland, other than those from Nigeria and the Gold Coast.

Mr. Hare

The British Council continue to be responsible for the reception, accommodation and welfare of all Colonial students in Scotland, as elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Most of the work hitherto done by the Area Office of the Colonial Office Students Department has been taken over by the Students Units of the oversea Governments. That office has, therefore, been closed.
