Mr. G. M. Thomson

asked the Minister of Education how many English students have been given awards from public funds to attend universities in Scotland; and how many of these are in respect of post-graduate students.

Sir D. Eccles

Seventy English students holding State Scholarships and three holding State Studentships for postgraduate work in arts subjects are at present studying at Scottish universities. Twenty-one graduates of English universities hold awards in various subjects at universities or colleges in Scotland from the D.S.I.R. and other government bodies. Similar information is not available for students holding awards from local education authorities.
