HC Deb 29 March 1965 vol 709 c165W
69. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Minister of Health why students who reach the age of 21 have to pay dental charges, regardless of whether they are receiving full-time education or whether they are dependent on grants.

Mr. Loughlin

Because the relevant legislation did not exempt from the charges any person over 21, apart from expectant and nursing mothers.
