§ Mrs. Lena Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he expects to be able to make a statement on the pay claim of university teachers.

§ Mrs. Lena Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, in view of the proposed lowering of the age of majority to 18 years, he will waive the parental contribution in connection with claims for grant by married women students under 21 years of age.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI have no proposals at present to make this change. It is not clear that it would have first priority if additional money could be made available for the payment of grants to students.
