HC Deb 21 November 1963 vol 684 c132W
Mr. Boyden

asked the Minister of Education what will be the estimated fee charged for each student for the Certificate of Secondary Education; and who will bear the cost of the fee.

Sir E. Boyle

The fees charged to candidates will vary according to the size and policies of each examining board, and according to the number of subjects offered by each candidate. The average fee for candidates who offer four subjects in the summer of 1965 might be of the order of £4. The local education authorities will meet the fees of candidates entered by maintained schools.
