§ Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many Scottish students have been given awards from public funds to attend universities in England; and how many of these are in respect of post-graduate students.
§ Mr. MaclayAt present 85 Scottish students at universities in England hold awards from my Department; of these, 36 are post-graduate students. In addition, 59 Scottish graduates hold, at English universities or colleges awards, from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and other Government bodies concerned with research. I regret that no up-to-date information is available about the number of awards tenable in England made by education authorities.
