Mr. Clifford Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will undertake consultations with governing bodies of universities and colleges of education with a view to taking steps to impose penalties on students convicted of charges of violence or damage on their educational institutions, to stop the grants of students who by their actions have interfered with the normal studies of other students, and to refuse such students further opportunities of continuing their educational studies.
§ Mr. Edward ShortIt is for the university or college authorities to decide in such a case whether the student can be permitted to continue his studies and, in the light of that decision, for the local education authority or other award-making body to consider whether any further grant can be paid.
