HC Deb 11 November 1959 vol 613 c50W
Mr. Brockway

asked the Minister of State for Commonwealth Relations how many scholarships are provided annually to students in Swaziland, Basutoland, and Bechuanaland for study at Pius XII University College in Basutoland, the inter-racial University in Central Africa, and universities in the United Kingdom; what is the amount of the scholarships; and if he will increase the amount and the number of the scholarships.

Mr. Alport

The number of scholarship awards varies annually with the number of applicants and the financial provision made. There is no fixed limit but the figures for 1959 are set out in the table below. The High Commissioner is considering whether he can increase the amount and number of awards in 1960–61.
