§ 85. Mr. Chapmanasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Education which local education authorities, other than the West Riding of Yorkshire, refuse to consider for university awards students who are studying for diploma courses, such as the L.D.S., and limit their scholarships to students taking degree courses.
§ Sir E. BoyleI am not aware that any local education authority refuses as a matter of policy to consider for an award all students who are studying for diploma courses at universities. Applications for such awards are considered on their merits, and practice differs as regards particular courses and individual cases.
§ 86. Mr. Chapmanasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Education to what scheme of major awards submitted by the West Riding of Yorkshire, limited entirely to students reading for degree courses, he has given approval.
§ Sir E. BoyleUnder the West Riding Authority's approved scheme major awards are not limited to students reading for degree courses. The scheme covers some university diploma courses but not others.
