§ 66. Mr. Jannerasked the Minister of Education if he is aware that the maintenance allowance for clothing for young people desiring to undertake higher education is confined to persons whose parents are earning less than £850 per annum, and that this creates hardship in large families; and if he will make arrangements permitting local authorities to raise the maximum income in such cases.
§ Mr. Geoffrey LloydThe number of dependent children in the family is already one factor which determines the gross income at which educational maintenance allowances cease to be payable. Perhaps the hon. Member would write to me about the particular case which I understand he has in mind.
