HC Deb 07 July 1970 vol 803 cc33-4W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will amend the regulations for the payment of grant for a married female undergraduate so that the amount of her grant is ascertained by her married status and not by reference to the parental contribution paid when she was single.

Mrs. Thatcher

No. This cannot be considered without reference to other claims on the funds available for student support.
