HC Deb 08 February 1968 vol 758 c207W
Mr. van Straubenzee

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science to what extent the rise in costs affecting students between 1962 and 1965 was offset by the increase in the rates of grants made in 1965.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Generally speaking, students living at home or in lodgings were rather better off in real terms after the 1965 grants settlement than after that of 1962, while those living in halls of residence were slightly less well off.
