HC Deb 08 February 1968 vol 758 c200W
38. Mr. Pardoe

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if, in view of the need to persuade more graduates to train as teachers, he will amend the present grant regulations so that graduate teachers in training are not regarded as being financially dependent on their parents.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

No. While I agree that it is desirable to encourage graduates to undertake professional training before teaching, the conditions governing their awards cannot be determined in isolation from that of other students.
