§ Mr. Pavittasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many studentships for postgraduate studies in the humanities have been awarded for 349W study at universities outside the British Isles in each of the last three years.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsThe Department's studentship scheme for the humanities is designed primarily to provide awards for study in United Kingdom universities, though there is power to make these awards tenable at universities overseas in exceptional circumstances. This power was exercised once in 1964 and once in 1965. When his studies in a United Kingdom university require an award-holder to spend a period abroad these expenses can be paid for under the scheme. I have no information about the number of postgraduate awards in the humanities tenable abroad under arrangements not administered by the Department.
