HC Deb 23 January 1969 vol 776 c156W
Dr. Ernest A. Davies

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps have been taken to provide the additional financial support needed by students who are obliged to take special courses during vacations, such as field courses which involve additional travelling and accommodation expenses, since attendance at such courses necessarily precludes the student from supporting himself by taking a vacation job.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Provision is made in the University and Other Awards Regulations for additional grant for maintenance and extra travel during vacation study courses. Local education authorities also have discretionary power to make grants to students who need financial help during vacations.
