HC Deb 15 June 1967 vol 748 c105W
34. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will now ask the University Grants Committee to invite universities to give particulars of any funds they have set aside to mitigate hardship which may arise from the increase in fees for overseas students.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

No. Such action by individual universities is entirely a matter for their discretion. Moreover, I understand that some of them propose to deal with hardship casesad hoc rather than by setting aside a specific sum.
