HC Deb 09 July 1970 vol 803 cc84-5W
Mrs. Shirley Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will continue to make mandatory grants available at undergraduate level and discretionary grants at postgraduate level; and whether she will make a statement.

Mr. van Straubenzee

My right hon. Friend has at present no proposals for changing the existing arrangements, except that it is proposed to introduce legislation in due course to remove the power of local education authorities to make awards for those postgraduate courses for which central government has already accepted responsibility.
