HC Deb 07 July 1966 vol 731 c89W
64. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what weighting is given, in assessing grants for university students, for the amount of National Insurance stamps legally payable.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

Students are excused from paying National Insurance contributions, except when in employment, and the question of weighting their awards for this purpose therefore does not arise.
