HC Deb 18 June 1968 vol 766 c127W
Mr. Walters

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many students in receipt of Government and local authority grants are allowed sabbatical terms for the purpose of student organisation while retaining their grants.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

A number of student union officials were allowed sabbatical terms or years for purposes of student organisation by the university or other authorities. Funds for this are normally found from union or college sources, not from the grant system.
