§ 51. Mr. Holtasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will recommend local authorities to give more generous consideration to the provision of grants for post-graduate courses in planning to applicants already qualified in another discipline, such as engineering.
§ Mr. HoggI have recently issued to local education authorities a circular asking them to consider sympathetically applications from students pursuing any courses after graduation, which are necessary or clearly relevant to the careers which they propose to follow; 51W and I have urged the authorities to exercise their discretion liberally to meet the general need for a considerable increase in the number of postgraduate awards.
