HC Deb 24 October 1968 vol 770 c326W
46. Mr. Lane

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps he is taking to ensure that awards are made to enable students to take up post-graduate courses in town planning.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Both the Social Science Research Council, which makes awards for higher degree courses, and the local education authorities are aware of the need to support courses in planning within the resources available; 43 awards for higher degree courses have been made by the S.S.R.C. this year, compared to a total of 35 similar awards from all sources last year.
