HC Deb 25 June 1963 vol 679 c138W
Mr. C. Royle

asked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation what is the reason fox the transfer of responsibility for welfare of colonial students from the Department previously dealing with such matters and for integrating it within the work of the Colonial Office Students Branch.

Mr. R. Carr

No change is contemplated in the existing arrangements whereby my Department, to which Students Branch was transferred from the Colonial Office in July, 1961, continues to have the overall welfare responsibility for Colonial students in Britain. All Colonial students continue to be eligible for the British Council's general welfare services
