HC Deb 03 February 1971 vol 810 c372W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he has refused to give grants to intending teachers accepted as students by the Open University.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

Under the Special Recruitment Scheme for teachers grants are available for full-time degree courses. Such a course will normally enable a student to obtain his degree and enter training more quickly than would a part-time Open University course.
