HC Deb 19 July 1965 vol 716 c149W
23. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Health whether he will introduce amending legislation to ensure that the criterion as to whether a student shall be called upon to pay dental charges shall be whether the student is earning, or is in receipt of full-time education or dependent upon a grant, and not whether the student has reached the age of 21 years.

Mr. Loughlin

No. Exemption from charges is related to need for dental treatment, which is greatest up to the age of 21 years.
