§ 91. Mr. John Hallasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education if he will make such adjustments as may be necessary to A.M. No. 502 of 27th April, 1955, to exclude the value of college exhibitions from the parental contribution towards the standard figure of maintenance payable in respect of State university scholarships.
§ Sir E. BoyleNo. Whatever his parent's income may be, no State scholar can receive less than £50 a year. This may be paid either from an award such as a university or college scholarship or exhibition, or by the Minister. Section 100 of the Education Act, 1944 and the Regulations made thereunder require my noble Friend to relate the total value of a State scholarship to the financial circumstances of the scholar and his family with the object of avoiding hardship.
