Mr. Anderson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what numbers and percentage of postgraduate students in receipt of Science Research Council grants had those grants extended before the three-year period due to circumstances such as illness or to enable them to complete their work within a reasonably extended period.

The figures are as follows:

education authorities, headmasters and teachers in warning pupils of the hazards arising from fireworks and home-made explosives.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

My Department arranges publicity of this kind in cooperation with the fire authorities, the British Firework Manufacturers Safety Association and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents. 75,000 schools and youth organisations have this year received appropriate publicity material and many schools will no doubt have been visited by officers of the fire brigades. Supporting publicity has appeared in television and radio broadcasts and in the Press.
